Contest: Welcome August Acrostic. Sponsor: Andrea Dietrich

As the lion makes way for the virgin Usurped is the crab of July Green are the forests and valleys Under cerulean sky Sun, sea and sand… and bikinis That’s August, let’s grasp it and fly!

Congratulations Terry. Sadly, August has been only Sun, sea and sand... and umbrellas where I live. Cheers - Gary

Cute for August Terry. Too hot here to be at the beach today. LOL Congratulations on your winning placement! :)

Thanks Linda. In the UK, we’ve almost forgotten what ‘too hot’ feels like.

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

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.
