Hi! Welcome to the second to last weekend of August. Time sure has flown by this month.
This week, we experienced the hottest temperatures since 2013! But on the bright side, we should start seeing the temperatures drop slightly in the upcoming days. That said, since it’ll soon be fall if you’re a pumpkin spice fan, some places are starting to sell pumpkin spice lattes. Yay!
