Goodbye, Sweet Summer

September 14, 2014 by dailygnome 4 Comments

I love this time of year. My two favorite seasons collide. Overlap and trade places for a couple of weeks. Hot afternoons telling me that summer hasn’t closed up shop, but a chill in the morning reminding that sweater weather is near. Almost time to pass the baton and put out the welcome mat for those muddy boots.

Hello to soccer practice and early mornings, packing lunches and a chill in the air. But not before paying homage to the spectacular summer that was…

Lemonade stands, mastering the two wheeler, skateboards + slip n’slides, face painting + festivals, morning runs + mountain hiking, cousin time, road trips, backyard projects + bbqs, hot tubs + hammocks, ice cream + more ice cream, float trips + friends, swimming holes + s’mores, gardening + golfing, Bosley boy + beach trips, fire pits + forgoing work…

All six cousins together at the beach. Sun and sand, games and celebrations. Excursions and crabbing. And lots of doting on baby Nat!

Open For Business

July 5, 2014 by dailygnome 1 Comment

Hello, summer. We laid out the welcome mat for bike riding, ice cream truck chasing and lemonade stands. Trying to work a lighter schedule for these three precious months to give the kids that 70s summer. Bring it.

The C+H Lemonade Stand opened up shop on a blazing hot afternoon this week when many neighbors were out of town. After 20 minutes and no customers Carson opted for an aggressive marketing strategy and went door to door announcing they were open for business. Offering two flavors: Berry and Regular. It worked. The Berry was a hit. When it ran dry they decided to hit the strawberry patch and rebrand the regular. Then the late afternoon rush hit. Sold out. Time to close up shop. Successful day.

They took their profits to the food carts where a new ice cream stand opened. Sweet reward.
