August is the end of summer. We look for the Perseids meteor shower, dog days, and the cicadas are especially loud.
Kids prepare for the inevitable–going back to school. There is a tax free weekend. Some kids in Virginia are going back to school August 9. That just seems uncivilized.
The wild flowers are darker and more abundant. The median strips on highways are full of them. The Skyline Drive has a wonderful assortment. Perhaps they are giving us their last show before the big competition arrives–FALL!
