As we enter the second weekend in August, it’s easy to feel as if the summer is slipping through our fingers. Days are becoming shorter and mornings a bit cooler. But before you start purchasing fall scented candles and organizing apple picking activities, let’s slow down the summertime train and enjoy the weekend.
After all, we still have plenty of beach days and warm weather to embrace before the leaves start falling. Let’s get after it.
