As the warmth of summer starts to mellow and the evenings become cooler, there’s a special kind of magic in the air. Late summer evenings offer the perfect opportunity to create lasting memories and unwind with your loved ones. If you’re fortunate enough to be settling into a new rental townhome, you have a world of possibilities at your doorstep. Want to make the most of these summer evenings as it stays warm and it gets just a little darker every night? Try these tips…
Your new townhome likely comes with outdoor space, whether it’s a patio, balcony, or a shared courtyard. Take advantage of these spaces to host cozy gatherings with friends and family. Set up comfortable seating, string some fairy lights, and enjoy the cool breeze as you share stories, laughter, and good food. This is the perfect sort of thing you can start and basically never stop. Family and friends come over, and you can enjoy the weather until it’s time to head inside. When it warms up in the spring, you can take the party back otuside.
Late summer evenings are ideal for enjoying meals under the open sky. Set up a table outdoors and indulge in al fresco dining with your family. Whether it’s a barbecue, a picnic-style dinner, or a candlelit feast, dining outside adds a touch of elegance to your evenings. Even if you just take your dinner outside and eat just to get some fresh air, it’s more than worth it.
Clear, crisp evenings provide the perfect backdrop for stargazing. Spread out a blanket, lie back, and let the night sky captivate you. Use a stargazing app to identify constellations and planets, or simply bask in the beauty of the celestial display above. Enjoy the quiet. Zone out. Relax. Get some air. There are times when we forget to enjoy the little things, but this is a big thing you can do practically every night as light pollution in this part of South Jersey is not nearly as bad as it is near Philly.
Transform your outdoor space into a mini movie theater with a projector and a screen or a blank wall. Invite friends and neighbors over for a movie night under the stars. Don’t forget the popcorn and cozy blankets!
Don’t have a projector or a big screen? You don’t need to spend a fortune. You can project from a smaller unit onto the side of your townhome. Some folks even prefer to sit with their spouse and just watch a movie on a phone or iPad because the experience and the company more than make up for the lack of a movie screen.
If you’re not taking evening walks, you should be. Explore your new townhome community with evening walks. The cooler temperatures provide a refreshing backdrop for strolls around the neighborhood. Discover hidden pathways, enjoy the architecture, and connect with your surroundings. You can get to know the area, meet your neighbors, and just detach from your busy lifestyle for a few minutes.
