Last Weekend of Summer

This is it... I can feel it in the air and see it on the calendar.  The last weekend of summer.  I spent yesterday browsing through second hand stores and walking through downtown Salem.  I bought a second wicker elephant.  I shall spend today cleaning house, grocery shopping and making Chardonnay Braised Chicken Thighs with Parsnips.  Found the recipe in the October 2012 issues of Food & Wine mag.  I will let you know how it is.
What are your plans for the last weekend of summer?
