August’s Final Hurrah

How, exactly, is August (almost) over?

I gotta say it’s been a month full of adventure, fitness, and fun. I don’t dread September’s arrival, but I’m not too keen on the final days of summer looming on the horizon. The best I can do is celebrate and embrace every minute before the daylight depletes and the cold sets in…

‘Fessing it up for August

 

…and just like that, it’s time to hit the ‘fessional.

You know the drill, a few ‘fessions released, exposed, and shared does us well. Besides, there’s no sense in keeping all this stuff to myself, LOL.

So, here’s what needs disclosing for August…

Look to the Sky

Some say the sky’s the limit.

I’d have to say the sky’s not only the limit (figuratively and in reality), but it’s also quite beautiful. This week, there was plenty to see in looking skyward. Not only was the sunrise breathtaking, on the daily, there were numerous celestial things going on, and it was an astronomer’s paradise. 

It also was another humidity-filled week, with plenty of summer weather to behold. Of course, I was all about that!

Because I Can

Well, it was a week!

The weather was very seasonal…hot (at times), cool (on a few token mornings), and humid (as per usual). There was a little bit of rain, but it was in moderation. There still is a plentitude of standing water in the fields and streams, though the levels appear to be gradually dwindling.

Myself? Getting outside on the daily, as usual, was without question. I may be in denial in acknowledging  the slightly lesser daylight, but I’m definitely soaking up as much of summer as possible.

Gimme Some Summer

It was another week of questionable weather and whatnot.

In other words it was a guessing game (on the daily), questioning not only Momma N’s motives, but also the appropriate workout gear to wear in dealing with the outdoor conditions. If nothing else, that adds to the fun. It’s also quite nice when those conditions play-out better than anticipated. 

To Humidity and Beyond…

It’s been one of the most humid summers ever, at least in the most recent weeks.

We’re talking 100% humidity, almost on the daily. As much as I love the heat, and can tolerate the humidity, I have to admit it has been pretty uncomfortable. The damp air, the wet streets (from the non-evaporating rain), and the requisite messy hair updo’s (by default) have been my reality. 

We did get a much welcome reprieve, though, as the weekend approached…

Hmmm, What’s in your cup?

If we were to gather for a coffee chat, virtual or otherwise, what would be in your cup?

I’ve been on a hazelnut cappuccino kick for a a couple of years now. If I’m sipping in the comfort of my home, that would be my beverage of choice. If I was out and about, I’d go for a chai latte’ because I’m still not a coffee drinker. I do love me a hot beverage on occasion, though, even in the heat of summer.

Another question…if we were gathered around a table, what would you want to share?

Myself? I have a few things I’d bring to the table…
