August Days
“The long, languorous days of August have cast their spell over the earth. Little by little, nature yields to the seductive influence and sinks into her summer sleep. Lazily-languid like southern beauties, the hours follow each other in slow succession.”
~Sister Mary Blanche (Elizabeth King, 1852), “A Summer Siesta”
August is usually HOT! We can help by providing shade and water options. Keep your COOL and give us a call: 717-653-1273!
