Can you believe we are in the eighth month of the year already? That means after this month, we are in the "ber" months, (Sept., Oct., Nov., Dec.) and, once there, the year is pretty much wound up.
Which is why I always have had ambivalence about August. As a child, it meant school was around the corner; today I feel it signals not only the approaching (and encroaching) end of Summer, but also of 2021.
So, darlings, may your August be a fun filled one. Remember, too, it is when the "Dog Days Of Summer" set in, and can be the season's most scorching month. Woodstock happened in August, darlings, so take some time to celebrate that.
For God's sake, just celebrate being alive and functioning during these times we live in. As for me, I look forward to a month of fascinating reading, and broadcasts of "Svengoolie!"
Happy August, everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You too!!!
