August always means the State Fair to me.   "Fairest of the months! Ripe summer's queen The hey-day of the year With robes that gleam with sunny sheen Sweet August doth appear." - R. Combe Miller |

Lovely quote, Jessie.
August is summer, unwinding and going down. Probably my favorite part of summer, er .. except for the allergies.

Why would you not go by the auttumnal equinox like everyone else? September 22nd is "officially" the first day of fall. You are giving up 3 weeks of summer!!! |
