Day 8 - 213 --A New Month Begins

A few more cleaning tasks were completed today along with orders to pick up tomorrow -- curbside groceries and pharmacy order. The day was partly sunny and seasonably warm. Temperatures are to increase during the next week and forecasters suggest this will extend for over a week. It will be a/c time again with little overnight cooling to help with sleep. 

August begins. Some days time flies by. How we got to this stage of summer is unclear. A friend calls the first of every month "calendar flipping day" and I did that this afternoon. Seeing all the new pictures brings moments of immersion in nature, places and art works. I do love my calendars and have one in most rooms. There is a personal journal and monthly scheduler thrown into the mix as well, though these don't have pretty illustrations -- just written notes to summarize and reflect on my day and to get me where I need to be during each day.  

A bright and bubbly pop song from another era came to mind today. The singer-songwriter attended Julliard's prep school for children -- in classical pianist training. Early in his career he became a Brill Building songwriter with credits now of over 500 songs. Keep safe. Enjoy!  

Calendar Girl -- Neil Sedaka
