Hello, August! There is still plenty of summer left here in New England, but I’d be lying if I didn’t admit it has flown by at warp speed this year! August is always bittersweet for me personally. It’s the last month of pure family time we get until school starts. This year, especially, there are so many unknowns with the school year. Will we start as planned? Will we have sports? I can’t dwell on it and I am going day by day with making plans at this point.
As far as August goes for travel around New England, it’s going to be a fun month. I have a couple of trips coming up soon to places that have been on my “must visit” list for a few years now.
So, with out further ado…
Here’s what’s on my radar for August…

Wild Blueberries of Maine and my favorite recipes to make with them.
I hope you are all staying safe in these COVID times. I am always in awe of how businesses have navigated these strange waters. Our stay in Essex was amazing and every place we visited there was on top of it!
I hate to admit that fall has been creeping into my mind a bit this week. I think it’s because I have to go buy school supplies soon. There’s still plenty of summer in August and September, but our trip to the White Mountains at the end of this month will probably intensify the autumn day dreams!
