August is one of those months that everyone who’s not retired is running around trying to squeeze every minute of sun and fun out of the summer. Me not so much, I try and stay out of everyone’s way. To do that I find out of the way beaches, like our little county park at Darlington. Oh, there’s people there in the usual places, but I know a place that is around the back, with only beach privileges (NO SWIMING ALLOWED) and in full view of the splash zone which is hysterical to watch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or…photo walks at places that are normally crawling with people on the weekends but completely manageable during the week on a Tuesday or Thursday especially.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sneaking into the city (NYC) on a Sunday the last week of August is another way to meet up with friends you only see once or twice a year! Try Lillie’s Victorian Establishment, it’s jumping but they’ve got it down to a science. The food is delicious, and the vibe is all theater goers gearing up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My long awaited, tiny little art practice is growing and dare I say thriving with a few commissions here and there and shaking up the creativity I’ve longed for since I was a kid. I bless it daily and truly hope it never hides from me again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And then there’s life on Stowe Lane the salve that keeps me safe, grounded, inspired and home to the lovely Miss Vecchietta… she’s no Toti Nonna but she’s a funny and grateful little imp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Until next month you can find me on Stowe Lane or Instagram @ordinarylegacy feel free to visit either one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
