Augustus! save some rrrroom for later!

Kinda running low on the ol' photo selection.

Anyway. I like August so much that I just made an August label on my blog.

It's the essence of that "end of summer" feeling that I like so much.  Even though we came home from our vacation to discover that I had let all of the hostas die. Even though the backyard grass looks even worse than the hostas. Even though we walk outside and start sweating immediately. Even though the lovely lazy days at the pool and fountains and such are coming to a close.

I just love the transition.

I love summer and this has been a great one, but it will come again soon enough. I am even psyching myself up for winter, sort of. I normally am not a fan of winter at all and I doubt that will change, but I decided that this winter, I'm not going to complain...much. I mean, I'll take summer heat over winter cold any day, but the mosquitoes that come with the rainforest vibe we have going on around here, are a bit of a deal-breaker. When I come in from the humidity and cool off in my air-conditioned house, the sticky hot feeling goes away, but the mosquito bites and faint scent of bug spray remain. Yet in winter, I can come in from the bitter cold and warm up by a heating vent. (so romantic) And no mosquito bites. It's like the cold never happened, until I go outside again of course.

Four more weeks of summer though, before Theo starts kindergarten (!!) and we are not going to waste them. Life is good my dears...life is good.
