August

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.
