A Poignant Time Of Year, Girls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                   The end of Summer keeps shrinking, as I get older.  It used to be September 20 was the final day, and it is.  But many now consider Labor Day, fast approaching, the season's unofficial end.

                                     As for me, it is very easy to look at today, August 31, as something of an end.  It is the last day of one of the full months of Summer.  September is a partial, because Autumn arrives on the 21st.  Proserpina must be thinking about packing her bags for that trip to Hell, right now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                    It is also the time the year begins to wind down, because I always say, as soon as we enter the "ber" months, and that begins tomorrow, that is just about it for 2017.

                                    Even though there is lots to come.

                                    And what an August we have had!  The mildest weather for this month I can remember.  The sad passing of Barbara Cook and Tobe Hooper.  The eclipse.  Hurricane Harvey!  I am telling you, it has been more than just dog days.

                                    I have enjoyed sharing this month with you, and I look forward to seeing you here, in September!

                                    Onward to Fall!  And a new cultural season!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
