Heather, I'm 6' and 195, blue eyes and silver hair. I'll be wearing a Century 21 shirt and a name tag. See you soon. LOL
Rita, we are suffering the same fate. At least we are in good company!
Chas ~ 6' and 195, blue eyes and silver hair... You're such a cutie! Now that we got that out of the way... perhaps you should give August a warm embrace {{HUGS}} and tell em' you'll be missing em' in a few short months ;)
Ah yes, August does feel like the beginning of the end, but there's still some summer left yet. I find Autumn to be terribly melancholy, and I never look forward to it.
I was in the Ozarks for a few days last August, and it WAS miserable. Here we start to feel Fall coming a little.
August here is a lot like July. Highs usually in the 60s, sometimes sunny, often foggy - at least in the morning. I'm looking forward to October - usually our warmest month!
Charles...my Sister lives in Dallas, and I'm flying her out here in September for some cooling off. Having an Ocean nearby is a silent blessing.
David, enjoy your family time. I know it's very precious.
John. That's it i'm on my way!
Leslie, I DO love summer but August is a tough one.
Malcolm, I never loo forward to fall either.
Mel, I just couldn't resist that shameless plug. ;(
Charles, This year I was happy to see July go....I agree...August, please be kind!
Well done Charles! I too would love to see August be a little gentler and kinder, especially after the July we have all had.
Hi Charles, I'm right there with Heather..although in the Oregon neck of the woods. You could make it a two-fer! Us Prudential agents are friendly folk!
Cindy, a cool off RainCamp in the northwest sounds good to me.
Laura, Yes July was especially hot. I still love the long evenings of summer though.
John. Exactly. August please be kind!
Charles, I could listen to you forever! Your words are so charming, entertaining, thought-provoking and interesting!
The temps reached 107 here in Flower Mound today and that does not include the heat index. My poor flowers can't take it any more! The lawn and trees have already surrendered.
I'm suggesting this post because it's so unique! I truly appreciate authenticity and you're the real deal!
What a great post. Clever and cute, like its author. I had a totally different perception of August yesterday and today. Two of the worst days I can remember. Praise God . . . nobody dead, nobody bleeding, but not two days that I wouldn't want to have a "do over" on. So while it's being gentle with you, maybe we can ask it to be a little nicer, also?
(And Patricia is one very thoughtful lady)
Charles, the South has really had the brunt of the heat, and hope August gives you some relief! It is way too hot all over!
Charles I never thought of August this way, until your post. Hope you get some relief from the Heat. I do not want to tell you but here in Marina Del Rey, CA it is so comfortable, temperate climate...but FYI I am Flying to Boston MA tomorrow I hear it is HHH and in the 90's(:
Charles, I think the entire nation could use a little rain and a little less heat during August since July was so brutal in so many areas!
Beautifully written, as always...
Hello Charles and a wonderfully written post! Vegas has been averaging about 105+, we have gotten real use to it but my wife and I have been playing around Lake Tahoe with wonderful cooler temps. That's one of the reasons I dropped by to returns the favor ...
VB ;o)
Beautiful turn of phrase my friend. We haven't had a heatwave in the Pacific Northwest as I recall since 1996? I remember we had just moved into one of my favorite homes on May Valley Road. That's when I learned our front yard didn't really have any topsoil (hence the 10 lb bag of miracle grow that was left in the garage by the previous owner). Of course, even then after weeks of temps in the 90's (when all true Northwesterner's give it up and lay down.) we had about 3 days or so into the 3 digits topping off at 102. We knew the world was coming to an end then, for sure... Normally our concerns are the opposite and usually in November via the Pineapple Express and March, "How many days in a row now has it rained? I've lost count."
