Before some of us pull out the sweaters and start making pumpkin everything, there are still a few weeks left of summer (hopefully). As my tomatoes are finally getting a pink hue and peppers are popping up like wildfire, it’s one of the first summers I’ve actually wished for more heat and sun.
So while I know we’re all eager for snuggly blankets and hot cocoa out of warm themoses, let’s embrace the remaining few days of this beautiful summer. This weekend, spend some time outdoors and soak up that sun… we’ll all be sorely missing it in just a few months!
To start your weekend off right, I’ve found some living green inspiration that I’d love to share…
