I sat down to write some words about August, and how and why I love the month so much, and then I realized that I could never say it better then Natalie Babbit does in Tuck Everlasting.
So, here is August.

“The first week of August hangs at the very top of the 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.”

Here we are at the top of the Ferris wheel.
