August

In some ways, August feels hectic and difficult. School is about to start. When my children were younger, it included the stress and expense of shopping for school supplies, bookbags, uniforms, and shoes. With 10 children, this was a big deal!

Annoying, insects, (fleas, pantry moths, yellow jackets, fruit flies and mosquitoes), seem to increase, multiply and  thrive in August. Maybe they know their time is growing short.

There's a feeling that we didn't take full advantage of the richness of summer. We didn't go to the park or beach enough. We didn't finish, (or even start), so many of the projects we'd dreamed up, Summer freedom feels too short.

Truthfully, a lot was accomplished. Summer is just so fine, and so short.

Maybe I'm just greedy...:)
