The backpacks may be packed, but summer isn’t finished with us yet. ☀️

There’s still time to eat outside, kick off your shoes, notice what’s growing, stay out a little later and spend time with the people who make the days better.

This weekend, leave a little room for summer. 💚

What are you checking off the list?

One foot in summer, one foot in what comes next. ☀️👟

As backpacks come out and school gets underway, we’re still hanging onto those last barefoot days of summer.

So which are you choosing this weekend?

👟 Sneakers or 👣 bare feet?

We’re not ready to say goodbye to summer just yet. ☀️🍅

Today’s menu featured a Greek tortellini salad filled with tomatoes, cucumber, olives and feta — fresh, colorful and full of the flavors we’re still happily holding onto.

Because the calendar may be inching toward fall, but there’s still plenty of summer left on the plate. 💚

What’s one summer flavor you’re not ready to give up?

A little extra love for the first days back. 💚✏️

Backpacks are being packed, classrooms are filling up, and somehow we’re still not quite ready to say goodbye to summer.

These colorful bags arrived in our kitchen just in time — covered in sunshine, flowers, rainbows, sweet treats and plenty of love for the neighbors who receive them.

A cheerful little reminder that a new season can begin while we hold onto a little bit of the old one. ☀️🌈❤️

To all of our Ridgefield students, families, teachers and school staff heading back: we hope your year starts with a little extra love.

☀️ **Peak Summer Weekend Checklist**

There are some things that only feel *this good* right now.

A stop at a farm stand. Dinner outside. Something fresh from the garden. Flowers at their fullest. Sharing something good with someone else.

You don’t need to check off the whole list — just choose one and enjoy it.

Summer moves quickly.

**This weekend, savor what’s in season. 💚**

Two stars of the August table. 🍅🌽

Juicy, ripe tomatoes or sweet summer corn — if you could only choose one, which gets your vote?

Tomatoes or corn? Tell us below. 💚

There’s something extra special about cooking with ingredients grown right here in our community. 🍅🌿

Fresh tomatoes from the garden at St. Stephen’s arrived in our kitchen and made their way into two delicious summer dishes: a tomato and cucumber salad served over fresh greens, and our summer chicken parm with mozzarella and provolone, roasted zucchini, garlic, basil and those beautiful garden tomatoes.

A big thank you to the St. Stephen's garden crew for sharing the bounty of the season with Meals on Wheels!

A little reminder to notice the good stuff this weekend. 🌿

You don’t have to do everything on this list. Pick one.

Eat something in season. Sit somewhere you usually rush past. Spend time with someone you enjoy. Notice something beautiful. Do something kind.

Summer moves quickly. Sometimes the best way to enjoy it is simply to pay attention.

What will you check off this weekend? 💚

Remember some of our youngest supporters who filled our meal-delivery bags with colorful drawings and a whole lot of love? 💛

Well, they’re at it again!

This Saturday at noon, they’ll be setting up a **lemonade stand in front of Ridgefield Town Hall** to raise money for Meals on Wheels of Ridgefield. 🍋

Stop by, grab a cup of lemonade, say hello, and help these wonderful kids turn a summer afternoon into something special for their neighbors.

**Saturday • Noon • Ridgefield Town Hall**

And a very special thank you to local artist Bryan Etch for allowing us to use his beautiful painting of Town Hall for this post. 🎨 We love getting to celebrate the people — young and grown-up! — who make this community so special.
