A Certain Vibe

 August has a certain vibe.  It does not take the turn of the calendar to let one know it has arrived.

For many years it was one of the least favorite months for me.  There was the realization that summer was winding down and the holiday spirit that marked the beginning of the season was disappearing.

Now though, I have come to appreciate August.  I welcome the cicadas and the crickets' songs.  When night comes they remind me that they have been missing up until this time.

The appearance of Queen Anne's Lace, 

purple iron weed popping up and

these apples getting ready to drop are all incredible blessings that come during August's visit.

Also all the hard work that was done in the early months is beginning to bear fruit.  

Yes friends, each moment we must look for joy because these days follow the last and they too will pass.

So let us celebrate August.  God Bless!

Shadow

 Yes at last I saw my shadow.  It has been a long time since it appeared.

Kelsey may have found hers too.

As you can see the sun was finally shining.

Here in our part of the country, winter days can be very gloomy and overcast.

In spite of the cold the sunlight made it feel much warmer.

I think the neighbor's cows were enjoying it as well.

Heavenly blue sky at this time of the year is such a treat.

Hope each of you are enjoying some sunshine today.

Hugs
