Summer’s Over, Let’s Talk About it

It’s September and by most standards summer is over.  As sad and upsetting as it is I’m ready for
fall, I’ve always been a cold weather kind of girl so it’s welcome. I thought it
might be a fun change of pace to do a little review of my favorite things about
this summer.

 
Camping! We did a lot of camping, my favorite trip had to be
the one we went on with our friends from northern VT.

Visiting wine country.

Favorite recipes included the Herby Burger, Backcountry CreamyOrzo, and Shrimp and Parsley Ravioli.

I was pretty much a lush.

Don’t forget the fair. I’m a dork for the demolition derby.

I loved teaching Brody to swim & love the water as much
as his parents. We also got to go river tubing for a day, found an old rope
swing Chuck played on as a kid, and spent quite a few days up at the lake. We
had lots of water time this year.

I made to the beach for the first time in years!

I started a small garden that blossomed with a pretty
amazing bounty of beans, tomatoes, radishes, carrots, parsnips, and kohlrabi.
I also had way more beans than I could handle. Next year we will pant the marigold a little earlier to keep the pests away.

It was a laid back and fun summer, full of food and friends.
What more could you ask for?

What were your favorite parts of summer this year?

  1. Your summer was a bliss it seems! And all the recipes I've saved from here will be safely kept until the next one 😉

    I had no water time at all which is such a shame as our summer was heavenly! I wish there were more lakes nearby, but the closest one is pretty far away. Okay, maybe it isn't that far. Belgians consider something that's a 40 min drive away as "far away", haha. We did have a barbecue almost every week! And lots of ice reams were eaten as well 😉 xo
