Starting our fall to do list

 A few of us love to sit and make a list.  It feels satisficing to cross something off a list.  A list gives focus. Something to work around and on.  We have started our fall list of things we want to check out and do. It might seem early but having the list before September seems like we have things under control. We might not but can think that with list in hand!

So below are some of our items we have started putting on our fall list.  We will be adding it to for sure as time goes on. 

•  After a hot summer and vacations we are ready to get back to book club.  We have a few books on the list already.  Our plan is to have a book a month already set for September - December. Four books.
• Tossing or donating summer clothes that we are so through with.  Or are falling apart.
• Picking a fun fall craft to do for girls night.
• Getting those last few patio dates in - even if the heaters are on.
• Paint spare bedroom/office.  When not humid.
• Clean out linen closet
• Fall hikes in - best weather for hikes!!
• Go through pictures on phone.  Delete. Print. Undecided.
• Book massage
• Back to theater season

Let us know what is on your fall to do list!

Plus book recommendations always welcomed

Where is summer going?

 We are been around just not on the blog.  Flipping the calendar, so to speak, over to a new month was a bit of a shock.  How can it be August? How can it be the August long weekend?  Wasn't it just July 1st?  Summer seems to be flying by - hence the year really.

Gardens are in.  Cottages booked or have been.  Beaches yes have been to a few.  Between us all we have covered we think the basics.  Humid days saps the energy but if off there is always someone cool to go. 

Summer seems to be July and August. Once school is out (end of June) and before heading back in September. It often seems like a lot to squeeze into two months.  I mean winter is what November to April. So seems like it. 

So with summer being half over by this standard what should we do? Or do we have to do anything? I mean really why not let the rest of summer unfold.  We have a month - hopefully some vacation time left. Do we have to book every day of it? Could we take time to do nothing? Be spontaneous?  To actually relax! Not be full throttle to squeeze every minute of something into our day?

Could the rest of summer be relaxing. Go to the beach when we want? Stay home and read? Go for a walk early morning or late evening. Thinking humidity here. Just be and not book anything. To actually feel rested when September hits!  Could this be part of our last month of summer?
