Is it just me or does the pressure to keep moving to the next thing seem to be getting stronger and stronger?  Maybe it is because I am (achem) slightly older and notice such things... maybe I am either too receptive to advertising or am now more tuned in to my inner decision to avoid such messaging.  Regardless, I am putting up a full resistance to start thinking ahead to fall.  Sure those fresh school supplies are lovely... but so are the fresh produce stands at the farmers market.

And while draw of fresh merchandise is great and the sneak peaks for fall styles look lovely... another picnic under a leafy tree out in the sunshine will keep spirits high for weeks...

or perhaps there is a quintessential summer activity that we have not fit in yet that just really should be fit in before we buy anything made from wool...

So I am just going to hold on to summer a bit longer if I may...  In the spirit of enjoying what we have at hand and loving the green grass that is underfoot.
