Anyone else in total disbelief that it’s the last day of August?!
How did this happen?
Wasn’t it just yesterday that we were firing up the grill for the first time? Now the local apple orchard is open & I’m all apple cider forever & summer forever at the same time!
Honestly, where does the time go?
Anyway…if you’re like me & not 100% ready to give up on summer just yet, here are 4 last minute activities you can do to soak up the last little bit of summer.
1. Impromptu BBQ
You know those cookouts that are planned weeks in advance & you have a designated dish that you bring & everything is planned to the max? Well, this isn’t one of those. Because you’re tying to savor the last warm nights of summer, this is one of those cookouts where you text some people to come over that night or the next & tell them to bring whatever. Where it’s not about the food, but about sitting out on the deck in the warmth as long as you can.
2. Picnic
We’re incredibly lucky to live near some great picnic areas, but having a picnic outside in the yard is always fun too. Something about gathering up some ingredients & eating them outside is a winner for me.
3. Farmer’s Market/Roadside Stands
Because #omgsobusy, I was unable to make it to any local farmer’s markets this season. But! I stopped at a roadside produce stand yesterday! Roadside stands & farmer’s markets are what summer is all about. You get a glimpse of what local people are growing in their gardens & it always inspires me to grow my own garden! The watermelon featured in the pictures was from a roadside stand & it’s absolutely delicious!
4. Yard Sales
I had to put this one on here because we just had our annual family sale last weekend. Whether you’re going to or putting one on, yard sales are always a good time. You never know what you’ll find (usually on the cheap!) & having a yard sale is a chance to get rid of your unwanted stuff & make money at the same time.
What are your favorite last minute things to do to enjoy the end of summer?
