and I can’t believe it. It’s already August 5th and I can tell that this month is going to fly by just like the last few months have! Summer is busy… it’s REALLY busy around this house! We’re just trying to enjoy our little downtime that we have and make it to the fall! It will still be busy in the fall but at least it will be cooler!! Whew! It’s been SO hott and sticky here in VA! I should have made one of my August goals to “Save the little tree in the front yard”. We have this one little tree… it’s a cute tree… but it’s shriveling up and I’m afraid it’s on its’ last leg! …. or branch… whatever.
You know what I mean, it’s about to DIE because we haven’t had sufficient rain! However, I really don’t want to put it on my “Goals” list because if it does die… I’m going to feel so unproductive!! ha! Ok anyway…. So here were the goals from JULY. I seriously can’t believe I’m already typing this out. Time is flying so fast and I DON’T KNOW HOW!! How is it AUGUST!!?? …
