August

This week I was reading a blog post that mentioned it being “late summer.”  And all of a sudden I was like, “NOOOOOO!”  Then, “Oh my gosh, FALL!” Then back to, “But NOOOOOO!”  So I guess I’m in that August limbo between not wanting to let go of summer and being so so excited for fall.  But before I get too excited about sweaters and chai and crisp apples, I’d like to take advantage of what’s left of summer 🙂

I wanna make this Grilled Peach, Avocado & Chicken Kale Salad.

And this Santa Fe Summer BBQ Pizza.

I wanna ride my bike and buy local cold brew iced coffee in a growler.

I wanna wear skirts and dresses and crop tops that just barely show any skin because I’m not that brave 🙂

I wanna Happy Hour on patios and drink a Pimm’s Cup.  Or is that just a Southern thing?

I wanna take more evening walks and sip coffee on my front porch.

I wanna put basil on everything and have at least one pineapple make it to the grill before I get too excited and just eat it raw 🙂

I wanna be present to enjoy what’s left of summer and I just want time to slow down already.

What are you anxious to do before summer ends?

P.S. We got our marriage license this morning!!!!!

  1. This summer has gone by so fast! Argh. Fall is my absolute favorite though, so can’t complain too much, I guess. I want to make sure I take advantage of evening walks around my neighborhood, going to at least a few more Rockies games, and grilling outdoors as much as I can!

    • I’m with you on all of those! I was a bad Rockies fan this year and barely went to any games. Though it probably wouldn’t have been that fun if I had…
