Okay; I'll admit it.I'm afraid of August.
Why? Well, it means that my "summer of love" (self-love, that is) is coming to an end.
In 3-4 short weeks, my beloved students will be back, and there goes my freedom and lack of responsibility.
It also means that I have to stop skiving around and get my summer projects finished. I can let a lot of them go. (I STILL haven't stained my side deck -- and I've been in the house for 5 years!) But there are some projects that I've committed to so I must finish them. (The only way I can ensure I'll get a project done in the summer is to tell someone else that I'll do it.)
So, I'm a busy beaver these days trying to cram in fun, enjoyment, embarassing the one child living at home with me this summer AND getting my projects finished.

| Oh August! Why must you come so soon? |
But wait; let's be positive here. There are so many wonderful things about August in Nova Scotia. Let's focus on them.
- Fresh corn
- Bountiful blueberries
- Local veggies for delicious hodge-podge
- My littlest girl's birthday (She'll be 20 on the 24th)
- Pirate Days in Mahone Bay - Another opportunity to dress up and go out and dance
- Lunenburg Folk Harbour Festival
What about you. What do you love (or hate) about August?

I hate that summer is almost over but seriously I can't take the heat we've had this year. I do love that fresh fruit and vegetables are becoming available now.
I like August for blueberries and corn on the cob and fresh veggies at market stands. I dislike it for the shorter days and cooler evenings. I love summer and sunshine and heat. Enjoy the month! Summer is flying by.
Mmmm... Don't like August, never did. It's too hot and I like Fall!!
Love Di ♥
I have deck staining to do too. My excuse so far is that it's been too humid for staining. I am looking forward to the state fair though that starts later this month.
I have always felt that once the 4th of July is over, the summer flies by so fast. I hate to see the summer end and cram the month of August with outings and vacations. When September comes though, I welcome the time to wind down.
August and early September are birthday months at our house. CRAZINESS ensues. I personally can't wait for October. Sounds like you have alot going on too in the next month. ENJOY.
