August 14, 2017
August is an odd month: It’s hot and sticky, still great for
boating and swimming; but people start feeling ready for Fall. I vividly
remember the woman in Louisiana who started wearing her Fall sweaters
(short-sleeved, but still) in August, when it was in the 90s and very humid. That’s
what August does to people. I think it has something to do with the changing
light.
I don’t feel like clothes shopping, but I do have an urge to
run around and change the house—put up fall decorations and all. It’s always a
struggle: Do I hold on to the end of summer, or do I cave…?
This year I left the sand castle decoration and the
seashells out, but put away the spring centerpiece and set out the fall
arrangement on the table. Close enough.
So what do you do when the light changes?
Decorate, shop for clothes, bake…write pointless blog entries?
