Is it just me or did August go by way to fast?
Because I woke up today and realized that September is a few days away! What?! The hot hot days are long gone and only a few more semi warm days are in the future (I hope!). The water is slightly cool to touch and the air just feels a little crisper then normal. The smell of leaves and apples are floating in the air.
Talking about this just makes me sad, because I LOVE summer too much! I know many people who really like fall better, but I am not one of those people. I can live in shorts and a tank top and do you know what Fall means?
That mean I have to wear real pants!! Ahh, sound funny but I hate long pants. I sometimes wear shorts in the cold fall and winter, until too many people start to comment. Not that I care what people think, but there comes a point where I can’t go anywhere without the conversation being brought up about my bare legs!
So I got a little side tracked. Where was I? Oh yes. Things I love about August. Let me list them out for you……
- I got 20,000+ views this month on my blog!! Hip hip hurry for all you gutsy readers out there! Don’t be scared to spread the gusty word :). I also reached over 600+ likes on FB! Keep up the love (lets shoot for 1,000).
