Appreciate some time out for annual holidays. Unify with friends, or bask in warm sun rays. Go and visit attractions, or a far flung beach. Unfamiliar places you must travel to reach. Summer days shorten, soon it will be fall. The most colorful season of them all!

Jan, this was awesome. i had no idea who my big winners were. Constance was my only guess because she mentioned Canada in her cute poem!! So it is great to see who I chose for my winners. Congrats.

You've got me excited about Dogust, I mean August. And that takes some doing!! Thanks, Jan. Nice job!

August certainly is the month for the change of seasonal color. My acrostic says so, too. Good entry, Jan.

When I was a youngster, I used to look forward to August, breaking up from school for our long summer holidays. All the best in the contest Andrea.

The kids break up in July here so August is the most popular time for holidays... and the most expensive!! hugs Jan xx
