HELLO AUGUST…..2022

HELLO AUGUST…..

I don’t know if I should be happy or sad about today.

After all, we are on the downhill side of not only summer but the year 2022.

And yet, we still have just a little over 31 more days of summer.  Summer ending use to be judged by the school year, the fairs and etc.   Now some states or even area’s school is starting mid  August.. What is with that? 

When I was a kid, school didn’t start until after Labor Day.  Which was a Tuesday, of course.

But I was raised in a farming area. So August was harvest time, and Fair time.. So no sense in having school, to just have about half of the kids not show up.

Heck I hear in California, they have school year around. With rotating kids.. meaning your kid might go from August to May and someone else’s kids go from January to Sept. and etc.

Even here in Idaho, the north part I live in.. school opens day after Labor Day.. and some times the Monday after. But I heard that down south nearer to Boise.. they are starting August 16… and we are all in the same state, watched over  by the school districts under the same state..  so don’t get that.  Maybe they don’t have 4 H down there?  Who knows.

Any way… half of summer is over.. next month is the start of cleaning up the yard and putting summer stuff away and getting stuff ready for winter. Making sure the snow blowers are running well  and etc.

So what ever it means to you..  enjoy what is left of the HOT HEAT of Summer… Fall is coming soon..
