( Thanx to Chris of Cab's Creations for this beautiful graphic)
THE WIND IS HOWLING THE PETALS ARE BLOWING LEAVES ARE ALL OVER THE PLACE.
GLOOMY SKIES AND DULL BLACK CLOUDS NO SUNSHINE NOT EVEN A TRACE.
IS IT AUGUST I WONDER THESE LAST FEW DAYS AS I GAZE THROUGH THE WINDOW AND PEER.
IT'S SO COLD THERE'S KNOWONE AROUND MUCH AT ALL VERY QUIET FOR THIS TIME OF THE YEAR.
OUR TOWN SHOULD BE BUSTLING WITH VISITORS BUT THERE ALL TUCKED UP IN THERE ROOMS.
THIS LAST FEW WEEKS THE RAIN AND THE LIGHTENING AND THUNDER HAS SENT OUT LOUD BOOMS.
OH DEAR WHATS HAPPENED TO THE WEATHER IT'S APPAULING FOR AUGUST TIME.
WE ALL SHOULD BE HAVING SUCH FUN ON THE BEACH AND LOTS OF LOVELY SUNSHINE.
THE WAVES ARE ROARING THE SHRUBS ARE BENDING LITTER IS FLYING VERY HIGH.
LASHING AND SPRAYING AGAINST THE SEA WALL AND SMALL FISHING BOATS I DO SPY.
TOSSING OVER THE WAVES UP AND DOWN IT'S COLD AND BITTER OUT THERE.
I THANK GOD I'M INSIDE COSY AND WARM AS I STAND BY MY WINDOW AND STARE.
OH I ACTUALLY SEE SOMEONE OUT THERE A GUYS HEADING DOWN TO THE BEACH.
WITH A LITTLE BOY AND UNDER HIS ARM A KITE WHICH WILL FLY OUT OF REACH.
IS IT REALY AUGUST I ASK YOU I CANNOT BELIEVE IT IS SO.
AND I HATE THE WIND AND RAIN MY FRIENDS AS I AM NOT ABLE TO GO.
OUT SHOPPING AS I NORMALLY DO BECAUSE THE WIND IT TERRIFIES ME.
AND OH ! HOW SORRY I ALWAYS FEEL FOR THE FISHERMEN ON THAT CRUEL SEA.
TUGGING WITH THERE NETS AND POTS TO BRING HOME FOR US OUR SEAFOOD..
TO ENJOY AND I WONDER HOW MANY OF US THINK OF THEM WHEN IT'S TASTING SO GOOD.
I DON'T THINK I WILL FORGET THIS YEAR THE WEATHER THAT WE HAVE ALL HAD.
FLOODS AND THE WIND AND STORMS ETC HASN'T IT JUST BEEN SO BAD.
OH WELL I'LL SETTLE FOR SOME SEWING HAVE A COFFEE MY HEATINGS NOW ON.
INSTEAD OF PADDLING IN THE SEA AND SUN BATHING ON THE PROM.
WELL LET ME SAY TO YOU MY FRIENDS I STILL RATHER LIVE NEAR THE SEA.
EVEN IN WINTER TIME WHEN IT'S COLD THIS IS WHERE I'D RATHER BE.
WHEREVER WE LIVE WE HAVE TO HAVE HEATING IN COLD MONTHS IN OUR HOME.
SO I MUCH RATHER BE AT THE SEASIDE THAN INLAND EVEN IF SOMETIMES I MOAN. HE-HE.
SO WHEREVER YOU ARE IF IT'S COLD AND WINDY WRAP UP AND KEEP WARM TILL NEXT TIME.
I'LL BE BACK AT THE BEGINNING OF NEXT WEEK I HOPE WITH A MORE PLEASANT .
