Savor the Summer with Amish Yard!
It can feel as though summer’s winding down as soon as the 4th of July has passed, but if you count Labor Day as the official end of summer, it means there’s a whole month left to enjoy. This time of year, with summer well underway, it can help to practice gratitude or spend a moment of mindfulness. Summer is a fleeting thing, and no two ever look quite the same. So we suggest savoring what’s left of your summer, appreciating the frenetic pace, with the knowledge that the seasons will soon change.
Tips for Total Summer Satisfaction

- Save your sanity with these 30 hacks for keeping the kids busy all summer long. Some of these are so simple and smart, you won’t believe you went so long without them!

The tables and chairs we carry at Amish Yard are built by trusted manufacturers like Luxcraft, Berlin Gardens™, and Polywood®, and they’re made to last.
