August is a Mood
July has come and gone, and we have now found ourselves in the month of August. For some it’s a dreaded month, it’s a sign that school is starting again, and summer is coming to an end. For others, it’s anticipation that fall is right around the corner. No matter where you find yourself, there are so many exciting things about the month of August. We have come up with 8 different reasons to look forward to August!
1. Harvest is Here
Whether you are gathering your own ripe produce from the garden, or you belong to an AG-related family, harvest season is a time of celebration! All the hard work of planting, growing, watering, and weeding is over and you can enjoy the food you have grown!
2. The Heat Will Soon Subside
The hottest month (July) is now behind us, phew! And all you warm-blooded people can begin relaxing because the heatwave is over.
3. It’s Fair Season!
Let’s be honest, most of us hear the word “fair” and instantly think: corndogs, popcorn, funnel cakes, mini donuts, nachos, ice cream, and the list goes on and on. We care a whole lot more about the food than the rides, and there is nothing wrong with that! There is some sort of childhood giddiness that runs through us when we think about the fair, even though most of us are over the rides. What we are trying to say is: don’t be afraid to go enjoy the fair this year, even if it’s just for the greasy food!
4. Blooming Sunflowers
If you live in the Midwest, August is the month of fields and fields of gorgeous blooming sunflowers. We see them every year, but every year we obsess over them!
5. Bonfires!
Now that it’s not so miserably hot outside, it’s time to light the fire! Everyone loves a good bonfire. What’s not to like? Smores, wine, relaxation, we can see it already.
6. Football Games
It’s that time again, where you load up in the car and drive miles to watch high school or college football games. Hard bleachers, concession stand food, smelly jerseys, what’s not to like?
7. Fall Vibes
It’s no secret that fall is right around the corner and every store is starting to fill up with all the fall vibes! From sweaters and boots to home décor, to pumpkin spice everything!
8. Back to School!
Although some people might be dreading school, others are pumped that it’s finally time they get to see their friends on a daily basis again! There really is so many great things to look forward to about school starting. Being involved in clubs and activities, the social aspect, having a routine, and learning of course!
Well that’s a wrap! Go enjoy the month of August!
