Although the changes are subtle, nature is giving us a few hints that fall is coming. It seems like August days move at a slower pace. There is a shimmering glow in the air. and a misty haze in the sky. A thin fog frequently hugs low spots in the early morning and evening hours. Vegetable and flower gardens burst with abundance and a riot of color. The apples on our tree are blushing deep pink on one side as they start to ripen. There is some talk about children starting back to school, although Aug. 22 is much too early for classes to begin. . *

Even the insects seem to sound different after the first of August. Their music is louder and more distinctive. The solos of crickets and katydids override the hum of mosquitos that were so plainly heard on evenings in June. The yard doesn’t need to be mowed so often in August, not several times a week like in early summer. There is something special in the air in August. Something that calls this reporter to look back and to look ahead. Most people consider Jan. 1 as their time for new beginnings. This reporter has just about decided that her New Year's Day take place on August 1.
