Lindheimer’s Senna in full bloom in the forest behind our home
I’m taking a quick break this week, but I’ll be back next Friday with a special post called Sommer’s Favorite Etsy Finds of 2021. Be sure to subscribe to the blog below (if you haven’t already), so that you don’t miss out on some unique gift ideas for the upcoming holidays!
Until next week, here are 5 Gifts to Give Your Future Self.
“When the summer days merge into fall and start to feel like a snug jacket worn on a hot day, I begin to think the cool mornings will never arrive. Then, just as I begin to lose hope, I feel a cool breeze brush against my skin like opening the fridge door on a sweltering summer day. A subtle shift in daylight causes a transformation that feels so much a part of me that I wonder in amazement at the way our bodies know the change of seasons so intimately. Nature reminds us that we are part of something bigger. We feel the transition of seasons at our core. We feel a deep urge to slip off the tight jacket of summer heat, open the windows, and wander into the rustling leaves. Shorter days beckon us to make soup, take hikes, gather together, prepare for winter, and then cozy up in our homes before a sleepiness seeps into our bones that wasn’t present just weeks before.”
-Sommer Maxwell
