The month of August is known for the “Dog Days Of Summer”. It’s usually the hottest month around, making everyone feel lazy. It’s also the month before fall where everything starts to change. School goes back into session, temps start to drop to cooler weather, reminding us that winter is just around the bend. The leaves start to change their colors
But for now we must contend with getting through the month of August. It’s now at the end and only a day or two left and once again, it’s time for changes.
I use to like August once upon a time. The month use to mean that our County Fair back in IL was gearing up for another promising year. I would start gathering my plastic canvas projects and get them ready to enter into the Stephenson County Fair, wondering if it would take a ribbon. Our county fair would work hard to bring in country stars to perform at our fair and the price was very
reasonable. We have seen stars like, The Oak Ridge Boys, The Statler Brothers, Loretta Lynne, and Toby Keith just to name a few. Our girls would go with a group of their friends and ride on all the rides until they couldn’t ride anymore. They even help shut down the fair in the evenings. Then the last day Brian and I would enjoy the Demolition Derby, our favorite was when they brought in the compact cars.
Oh those were the days of August that I use to look forward to. But now, August just seems to drag on and on…oh, if only I could turn back time…But I wouldn’t, you know…
