You gave us wonder and splendor.
You gave us the return of Bill and Ted (see above).
You gave us the feast day of St. Augustine, and the annual pondering as to whether or not his friends called him “Gus.”
You gave us an uncommonly high volume of marmalade cats.
You gave, and you took, and you were altogether august in your regal revelry, except when you weren’t (see Bill and Ted).
And now we regale and review you. Thank you, August. Be on your way now.

September, oh sweet autumn doorway, please be kind.
I love these month end reviews. Coco – what a tail! That is a great picture. Lots of great adoptions in August, with Barnum and Bailey on to their new wonderful forever home big top. And Cecil. With his round chunky head and crumply ears. We will miss you.
Hooray for Alfred!!!
