Cherishing the Slow, Sweet Surrender of Summer
Didn’t this August speed by like an ice cream cone melting in Death Valley? It’s unbelievable that we’re in the last week of August! But don’t despair; it’s not over yet; we still have a few weeks left of those “lazy days of summer” to enjoy. Of course, if you’re over it, then just head over to your local store, and you’ll quickly find the unofficial symbols of fall like Halloween candy and Pumpkin Spice everything cluttering the aisles as a reminder that a new season is on its way.
Forget about Halloween for now, because even with the long Labor Day weekend coming, I’m still planning on wearing my white espadrilles until the very last day of the season. Come September 24th, when I kick those babies off, I’m hoping to have enjoyed all the beauty and sweetness that only summer can offer. If you find yourself wondering how to enjoy the waning days with less than a month to go, take a look at my recommendations for savoring every last minute…
Walk in the grass barefoot!
Swing in a hammock or swing in a swing
Take a walk on the beach
Take a spin
Sip a cold drink
Relax on the porch with a cold drink and a good book. Does it get any more summery than that? Try these refreshing and non-alcoholic drinks:
Speaking of books…
Summer reads are luscious! Fantasy reads, easy reads, romances, or heavy tomes, whatever your favorite subject is, summer offers more time for digging into a good book. I still want to read…
The Boston Girl A Novel – Anita Diamant
The Sweetness of Doing Nothing – Live Life the Italian Way with Dolce Far Niente
The True Love Experiment – Christina Lauren
Indulge

Pitch a tent
With so many upscale camping supplies, there is no need to suffer while camping. Sleeping in the wild is empowering, and spending time in nature will wake up your senses. Sip coffee from a campfire and go to bed with a belly full of smores. Photo by Xue Guangjian on Pexels.com
Drive-in movies
Are there any of these left anymore? Make your own with a sheet and projector, and absolutely make sure to watch in your pajamas! Photo by Efecan Efe on Pexels.com
Wow, I love this list so much; once I got started I just couldn’t stop. Thankfully, there is still time this summer to take part in all of them! Did I leave out an activity that is quintessential summer to you? Go on, get your own summer on before it’s all gone, and we’ll see you in the next blog!
