August can be a real bummer of a month with hot dry weather, yellow jackets buzzing throughout the day and the threat of wildfires. My biggest outdoor chore is watering plants and some have given up and died not so much for a lack of water, but just too hot. Eating a hot dinner does not even appeal at the end of a hot day. Sometimes a bowl of cereal is all that taste good. After the sun has gone down and the cool evening air brings life back to my old body, I go outside and sit watching the wind blow through the trees with the sound of crickets bringing me comfort before retiring for the night.
