on days at the lake and sunsets past nine.

well hello!

how are things on this fine feathered day?

`````

you know, lately i've been thinking,

if you told me summer was to last forever
i'd almost believe you, 
i'd almost wish it so.

if you told me the days wouldn't end 
where i could wear my bathing suit 'til dusk, 
and watch the sunset past nine.
if you told me that farmer's markets would stay open
and figs would stay ripe.

 if you told me we could leave off the heat
and get prepared for more summer,



i'd smile a little but i think i'd miss autumn.

i like its feeling of bounty

its brown sugar loaves.
i like its golden turkeys and cast iron pans.

i like its smokey fires and mid morning chills.
i like that there's things made from apple
and all sorts of roast veg.

i like that there's charcoal knits

 and thick woolen tights.

i like that there's heels with closed toes
and socks with slight slouch.

i like fall for its worn leather satchels
and its penchant for layers.

i'm still keen on summer though, still happy it's here.
happy for the stripes on my feet

the sun in my hair and the freckles on my nose.

happy there's rosé to drink 
and lakes in which to swim.

i'll say though, i'm quietly dreaming

of milkshakes with pumpkin
and that season called fall.
how about you,
are your thoughts much the same?

happy august to you friends,

no matter the season

no matter the weather.

xox, n.

i'm stuck on this blouse

a pouch necklace and a pouch belt

watermelon love

a buckleless belt

dream kitchen, dream bedroom, dream house
and a sweater for the coming season
