August

On August 1st I was wishing it was anything but that.  I needed two months of July, back to back.  I wasn't ready for the end to start.  I needed more warm nights and that feeling that summer is never ending. 

I wanted to suspend summer in a jar.  And hold it close.

But today I am smiling because I accept August for what she is, and will make the absolute most of it!  The lid has been opened and summer is fleeting...but I can run with it.

  1. Yeap, saw leaves falling today. I shrugged my shoulders and thought oh well, Iowa snow has it's own fascination.
