August Days

"The sprinkler twirls.

The summer wanes.

The pavement wears

Popsicle stains.

The playground grass

Is worn to dust.

The weary swings

Creak, creak with rust.

The trees are bored

With being green.

Some people leave

The local scene

And go to seaside

Bungalows

And take off nearly

All their clothes."

A poem by John Updike

The lazy and warm days of August are upon us. One of my favorite things about this summer time month is going to my local farmer's market and stocking up on all the delicious fresh fruits, veggies and meats it has to offer!! Mmmm...imagine swinging on your front porch swing as the sun goes down and enjoying some fresh strawberries, blueberries, and watermelon along with a healthy serving of whipped cream...

So, granted, these aren't real pieces of fruit but they are just as scrumptious! Wooly Knits N Bits makes these super fun fruit hats, perfect for little boys or girls. The super soft feel of these hats and the round design are just right for a comfortable fit on baby's head!

The summer is quickly slipping from our grip so let's enjoy what's left of the warmth on our skin and the sunshine's glow on our face!
