I hope this post finds you all enjoying some blissful, relaxing summer time. It’s been a good summer here, although it’s fleeting fast! For us, it’s been a summer of transition, and August will bring more changes with back to school, fading summer gardens, and soon, transitioning seasons. Grab a glass of somethin’ cold and relax as I share some tips to make summer transitioning smooth sailing and full of “Hygge”.
(“Hygge” is a Danish word that’s hard to translate, but you know it when you feel it. To me, it’s happiness, coziness, contentment … a place or moment where you want to linger.) Continue reading
Great post! Thanks for teaching me a new word! I will have to try and use it sometime. As far as transitioning from Summer into Fall, I dont have very many tips. I am not good at slow transitions between seasons. What really happens is that I just wake up one day and feel ready for a change!! Sunflowers are one of the few things that help. Once I see the hundreds of sunflowers opening up in the field next to my house, I know fall is on its way and it helps me get ready to put up pumpkins, corn stalks, and straw bales. Winter is really hard for me lately. I have tons of decorations for winter, but it simple just doesn’t feel like winter until there is snow on the ground. Each year we have less and less snow. I will have to use some of your transitions to help me out.
Hi Krista! I would LOVE to see that field of sunflowers! How beautiful that must be. I hear ya about winter…last winter was really hot. It was seventy degrees and we heard the peeper frogs on Christmas Eve. I like warm weather, but I like it cold for winter! Thanks for stopping by! Farmgirl Hugs, Nicole
I will have to get a picture once they are up and open!
Yes, Please do! What a great place to photograph your babies, too. I have a pic of Audrey when she was little standing in a big field of sunflowers. Somethin’ about kids and sunflowers…awesome combo! Farmgirl Hugs, Nicole
Thanks Nicole! Fall is a long long time away here in the Carolinas where we have sweltered all summer. All my gardening became a distant memory. Not much has produced at all so it was good to see yours flurishing. Looking forward to those fall cool days again. You can take a girl out of the North but you can’t take the North out of this girl. Ha ha!
Hi Bobbielynn! It’s been pretty toasty the last couple of weeks here, but after a huge thunderstorm we got some good relief. I actually had the windows open this morning. Of course, I love the heat, because I’m like you only opposite – I’m a southern girl who lives up North! I do LOVE the fall here so very much! Hope you find a cool breeze headed your way. Thanks so much for stopping by! Farmgirl Hugs, Nicole

Hi Marilyn, Thank you so very much! Time sure does fly quickly when you watch kids grow. I’m sure I’ll show off a pumpkin or two this fall here on the blog, if things keep growing the way they have been. So far, so good! Thanks so much for reading and commenting. Farmgirl Hugs, Nicole
I love all the pictures, too! The decks in front and back look good. You are quite a decorator! Great picture of Audrey with her guitar. Miss you and love you. Mother
