The sun shines differently in August. A little softer. A little slower. Like it knows what’s coming

Another month gone.
End of August hits, and here come the Facebook memes about the brrr months starting.
September brings fall, and I’m not ready for it.
I'm not ready for the cold and the dark and sad days that are sure to follow.

If I don't write through the empty days, I won't be here for the full ones

OK, let's see if we can get something written.
To be truthful, I'm really not in the mood to write today, but if I start skipping days, I get lazy and stop entirely.

We can make this short and sweet.
Well, maybe not sweet.

Like almost every Thursday, it was town day.
We got our shopping done, and stopped at McDonald’s to grab lunch to bring home.
They had a new caramel apple pie frappe and latte I wanted to try.

Nature's light show in full effect! ⚡️⛈️

I’m just sitting here wondering where all the hours went.
The day went faster than I thought it would.

Cowboy didn't wake up until noon.
He ate his breakfast, then went right back to sleep.
He slept until nearly 4 p.m., went out to take care of his chickens, then gave his work truck a good cleaning.

Giving myself permission to just be

This was just a very quiet, low‑key, stay‑at‑home kind of day.
After yesterday, I guess we needed it.

Fought a Bug. The Bug Won.

I woke up really early this morning.
My inner spidey sense was telling me I was alone in bed.
Sure enough, Cowboy hadn't come home from work yet.

Every vote counts!

Another Thursday has come and gone.
The days are getting a little easier for me.
