August

As the lion makes way for the virgin
Usurped is the crab of July
Green are the forests and valleys
Under cerulean sky

Linda Alice Fowler August 26, 2023 at 10:59 AM Cute for August Terry. Too hot here to be at the beach today. LOL Congratulations on your winning placement! :) Terry Flood August 26, 2023 at 11:07 AM Thanks Linda. In the UK, we’ve almost forgotten what ‘too hot’ feels like.

Andrea Dietrich August 26, 2023 at 10:06 AM this for me is the spirit of August, and as I am fond of the Zodiac, it was really cute how you incorporated the signs of three of them. The before, during and after of August. That's why you got first place. Congrats Terry Flood August 26, 2023 at 11:04 AM Crikey, Andrea. I wasn’t actually sure this would appeal to you, so I would have been happy with a ‘place’. So I’m delighted with a first place. Thanks so much.
