AUGUST - a month of garden bounty, preserving the harvest, warm days and slightly cooler nights, starry skies, summer dreams and vacation travels. Back to school preparations begin and plans are underway for fall fairs in the country. The birthstone in August is the peridot or sardonyx; the flower is the gladiolus or poppy.
The first week of August hangs at the very top of summer, the top of the live-long year, like the highest seat of a Ferris wheel when it pauses in its turning. The weeks that come before are only a climb from balmy spring, and those that follow a drop to the chill of autumn, but the first week of August is motionless, and hot. It is curiously silent, too, with blank white dawns and glaring noons, and sunsets smeared with too much color. ~Natalie Babbitt, Tuck Everlasting.
