August is here
I think when August hits, people go into panic mode to get their summer bucket list checked off. August is the month school starts (Aug. 31 for School Administrative District 61), and camps end. It signals the finality and brevity of summer. So live it up, soak it up, get those day trips and barbecues in, summer is fleeting!
