A quick glance at August

August in the deep south, down here in these parts so very close to New Orleans means the following:


Traditionally, the hottest temperatures of the year with equally high humidity


The potential for increased tropical activity in the Atlantic, Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico


One of the earliest back to school dates, mostly here on August 7th


Saints games, first preseason game also on August 7th


Decreasing daylight in the evening but much more noticeable at dawn


Did I mention it will be hot?


Happy thoughts that autumn is getting much closer


For all us Deacons, the Feast of St. Lawrence


The beginning of love bug season


Prep football jamborees


A real live Holy Day of Obligation


And for me, while not my favorite month by far, extreme hope as we get closer and closer to the best part of the year, October thru early April!!!
