Once August Hits

Once August hits, the summer flies, As stores start stocking school supplies And though it’s hot, we realize That autumn’s drawing near. The calendar helps emphasize The fact that, right before your eyes, The days of summer that we prize Are soon to disappear. Each year it seems like a surprise But now’s the time to recognize That Leo’s Virgo in disguise, Just waiting to appear.

I cannot wait for Virgo to appear, it has been insanely hot here, but I have to admit my heart leaps with a bit of joy when I see those school notebooks on sale for seventeen cents apiece.

It drives me crazy to see the back to school stuff in the shops when they have just started their holidays! Can't believe the year is flying by so quickly it will be the dreaded 'c' tat in the shops at the end of the month!!!:-) hugs Jan xx
