With just over two weeks left in August, three weeks until Labor Day, and about five weeks until the autumnal equinox, it seems a good time to think about what I’d still like to do this summer:

• Get back to the beach again.
• See a few more movies outside.
• Swim at the pool twice a week until it closes for the season.
• Explore Teddy Roosevelt Island, the Arboretum, or the Aquatic Garden (since I’ve never been to any of them).
• Find a park where the trees are the right distance for hanging our hammock. Barring that, spread out a blanket and read all afternoon.
• Finish knitting a second pair of socks.
• Relax over strawberry daiquiris.
• Attend the National Book Festival and a few neighborhood festivals.
• Check out the two new ice cream shops that have opened nearby.
• Watch the dragon boat regatta.

How about you? What are you hoping to accomplish before summer comes to an end?
