Well, hello and HAPPY FRIDAY! Anyone else savoring these last few weeks of summer? Clinging to them, just a bit? I know I am! BUT… I may have started to dabble just a bit in fall! August, to me, always represents a mood shift, as summer winds down and school starts back. I always feel a bit torn… I want to embrace the heat, the figs, the gardenias and roses giving one last round of blooms, and the fresh tomatoes and herbs… and linen everything!… but then there’s the promise of fall. It’s just a few weeks away and it’s hard not to imagine the houndstooth blazers, the boots, the fluffy blankets and the dark nights lit by dimmed lights and warm candles. It’s apple pies and pumpkin soup and trick or treating and fisherman sweaters and jeans and rain boots and walks in the forest… It’s a promise of snuggling and pumpkin spice lattes, and crunching leaves… It’s really the only thing that can pull us away from an eternal summer… because what else would?
So, I’m holding on to the last bit of summer while (not so) secretly ordering some fall favorites that sold out last year before I could get them!
I think we might need a bit more limoncello before the season wraps up, a few more hours soaking up the sun, and then… it will be fall!
What about you? What are you up to this weekend?! Hopefully you are enjoying these last days of summer, too? However you choose to spend the weekend, I hope it’s full of fun, good times with those you love, and lots of joy! Sending big hugs and a kiss for each cheek! xxV
