Summer came to a close signaled by the swan song of cicadas during the late August sunsets and the absence of fireflies. Gone are the days of lounging around in the midday sun and running away from bees and responsibilities. As the warm season transfers to the other side of the equator, it leaves us with memories of unbearable heat waves and the forgiving rain that followed. A nostalgia for sweet Sticky hands from the melted ice cream that ended up falling on the sidewalk anyway. With both pleasant and insufferable experiences of the season, some of us never want the summer season to be over. But autumn brings with it its own sets of exciting opportunities for daydreaming and adventure. Before it gets too cold and all the leaves settle on the ground under the first fall of snow.I came up with a list of activities to make this season more magical.
And no I’m not including getting yourself a pumpkin spice latte, alternatively, I would highly recommend a chai oat latte with a pump of brown sugar syrup and pumpkin cold foam. Thank me later🤍
