Ah, Labor Day. While about three weeks separate it from fall, it still is the unofficial end of summer. For better or worse.

The kids are back at school. The leaves will soon begin to change colors and fall to the ground. The temperatures will grow cooler, then colder.

But, until then, we have a day of relaxation and celebration for Coventry on Monday.
