Can it really be? August is here. June with its brief tranquil moments in July with its full moon and fireflies and celebration and holiday time is now a memory. August is time for the early harvest. Tomatoes ripening, the taste of roasting ears, new potatoes in the pot, fryers in the freezer, the aroma of baking bread and pies, and making pickles and preserves. August is vacation time with family before school starts. A trip to the mountains and hills, fishing by the lake, quiet brooks, streams, attending softball games, fair time, fun time, picnic time, more family celebrations and reunions, high school and college reunions, summer graduations, and for some moving on, moving on in life.
How delightful are those summer days? For some, it may be the sweetest season of the year, where one can enjoy perfect freedom while walking or relaxing by the beach or lake. Summer with its soft nights and cool dawns at sunsets. Soon, summer will be gone, and autumn in all its beauty will arrive. Autumn, the mellower season, often called Indian summer, August is a time to reflect on the beauty of the seasons of the year.
Warm Thought: Now is the high tide of the year, and whatever of life hath ebbed away, comes flooding back with a ripply cheer, into every bear inlet, and creek, and bay. James Russell Lowell.
