ANYBODY SEEN JULY?

I don’t know how it is where you live, but here in New England, we seem to have gone straight from the end of June into August. Not just my household, either – ask around, and everybody admits the same. We just didn’t have a July. Nobody knows where it went. Hiding out in one of the closets?

Some years we know it’s July by a prolonged steamy oppression that finally breaks out into a glorious August. Not this year. The only evidence of passing time I see is in the profusion of weeds – the garden was still orderly at the end of June. At least the produce is coming along on schedule. Oh, my, yes! Real tomatoes!

If it were just me, I’d blame being obsessed with drafting my newest (and likely final) novel. But then I ask around. Yup, everybody agrees.

Now, let’s make the most of August before it, too, has passed.

  1. Being from New England, I have to agree! Where did the summer go? Love the Fall, just not ready for another long Winter!

  2. Hot and humid here in northern MN except close to the Lake where it was usually cooler. Now it’s August and a little cooler (70-80 by day, 50-60 by night),

      1. Yep, a lot better! The days, too. I don’t feel like I’ve worked all day after one hour outside.

        Still warm enough to hear the cicadas.

  3. It was so hot and oppressive this July I hardly went out. There were a few days with heat warnings to stay inside. So, July went by with nothing to show for it. 😦 but it has cooled down. Looking forward to a more temperate August and then fall. 😀 Love the Fall.
