It may be August today, but your spring bulbs won't wait! Companies normally ship bulbs in the fall, so now is the time to order. They will likely ship them when the soil temperature in your area drops to 60 F or lower. Catalogs out! Pick your favs and place your orders now!
That diary (or journal) doesn't have to be just for those emotional, heartfelt moments you want to treasure. Record your kids' upcoming school registration; doctors' visits; even notes during the pastor's sermon on Sunday mornings! When you look back, you'll see that you've recorded your LIFE! Get to journaling today! (Even if it's just the week's grocery list!! Lol!!)
Why, have a backyard bonfire, of course! Break up the wood (or use a powersaw), and your portable outdoor fire pit will make for a great roasted marshmallow! A few of your kid's friends, a cup of hot chocolate, and the smiles will be your best summer memory of August!! (Check with local officials before burning on open ground!)
It's easy for the lazy days of summer to build up on your kitchen counter or in your pantry. Last week's sweet bread, the dinner roll that you saved for a breakfast sandwich, or even the orange juice can that served as an emergency flower vase! Toss expired food, donate what you know you won't consume, and you will have a happier space all around! Cut the clutter starting today!
Why visit your local farmer's market in the heat of August? Because it's the PERFECT TIME TO DO SO! The tomatoes are juicy, the corn sweet, and the stands will teem with the best produce of the year! So, lather on your sunscreen and hit the produce stalls. Good eating is on the way!
