Ack!

It dawned on me this weekend that there are only three more weekends in August.

Ack!

It is my humble opinion that the summer should not be moving quite so quickly.

I want more veggies-on-the-grill.


Oh, thank you, CSA. 

Forgive me for belaboring the point, but I really like veggies-on-the-grill

In the time I took me to fetch my camera, an entire pile of grilled corn became two lonely ears. 

I want iced coffee and sunscreen.

I want months of fresh berries and lazy, hot afternoons reading books in the grass.

I want an eternity of Sunday afternoon trips to the homemade ice cream stand.

I want my children to eat their meals shirtless until they figure out how to eat neatly.


Shirtless children are so much easier to clean up!

Sigh.

Let's brainstorm - what's on your must-do list before the end of the summer?

If I have to let it go, I'm gonna make sure we go out with a bang.
