LATE AUGUST ...

"August rain: the best of summer gone, and the new fall not yet born. The odd uneven time..." -Sylvia Plath

"August of another summer, and once again I am drinking the sun..." -Mary Oliver

"The month of August had turned into a griddle where the days just lay there and sizzled..." -Sue Monk Kidd

"Those late August mornings smelt of autumns from day-break, 

...till the hour when the sun-baked earth allowed cool sea breezes...

...Garden spiders retired in the evenings to the shed,

...and there wisely took up their abode on the ceiling." -Colette

"August was nearly over. The month of apples and falling stars..." -Victor Nekrasov

"August is the last flicker of fun and heat before everything fades..."-Rasmenia Massoud

"August breeze...perched on the flame tree..." Meeta Ahluwalia

"August was smoking hot, then September walked in

... in cool as a cucumber, and made her presence felt."
