Hello, September. I’m so happy you’re here, I’ve missed you.
September, of course, marks my favourite time of year. A summer of beautiful memories is winding down. In the morning, a touch of autumn is felt in the slightly crisp, breezy air. Here in Canada, our kids are just days away from going back to school – a welcome return to routine, learning and reuniting with class friends.
But for today, it’s the last long weekend of summer. We’ve been making the most of these last glorious days of sunshine and freedom, spending them at our favourite place – the river. Barefoot on the dock, the sun on our skin, the kids catching frogs, reeling in fish after fish. I’m just so grateful.
Before we get to weekend reading, a little more from behind the scenes. In the past few weeks, our family also travelled. Is there anything better than hitting the road together in the summer? An amazing getaway to the incredible Niagara Falls, an extraordinary sight to see. A perfect end-of-summer road trip.
How are you celebrating the last of the summer? It’s not over yet! I hope you’re making wonderful memories together with family and friends, ready to soon cozy up with books and coffee this autumn as we see what the rest of the year brings us all. Have an amazing Sunday, friends.
And with that, here is this week’s Love On This . . .
