The month of August in the 2011 On the Farm calendar features butterflies! I love photographing butterflies, and they tend to be plentiful when the wildflowers are blooming and the flowers are blooming in the garden.
I should be enthusiastic about the changing of the calendar month, but August isn't exactly what I would consider to be my favorite month. I have no doubt that we'll see all 31 August days at well over 100 degrees. By mid-September we should see a bit of relief, but personally I'm rootin' for OCTOBER! Come on OCTOBER!
Stay tuned for the 2012 calendar details in the next couple months! It promises to be a good one!
August.
I'm with ya on the August feelings..lets get on w/it..get it over and let it be October..but then here in Michigan, it quickly turns to winter and that isn't much fun!!!
I just bought a butteryfly bush today @ the farm market, haven't got it planted yet, but was in awe when I went outside and saw a big black and blue butterfly enjoying the nectar!!

OOOORRRRRR. . . maybe you should just pack up and move back to the beautiful PNW and be done with it all. Maybe Mother Nature is trying to tell you something. Tee Hee.

August schmaugust. One more month here in Central Florida and then there is a slight chance it will cool off in September, but like you, hooray for October. Maybe Emily will cool us off, but prolly not. Sorry Dan was of no use to Texas. Stupid weather.

Yup, with a 10 day forecast of highs to 1059 degrees!!!! I do wonder what is in store for the southern part of America in the weeks to come. On a much lighter note, the fishing at Georgetown Lake in Montana was wonderful with highs in the mid 70's lows at mid 40's for 6400 ft. that was delightful. Sunburn on the face....Oh well. fish were active and I even saw someone on a water ski, that could have been an Osprey flying low tho.
Just remember to keep you stick on the ice, and I'm pullin for ya, we're all in this together! Love, Dad

Your little guy looks like he is feeling the ravages of your heatwave. LOL. Beautiful photos of the butterflies, Anna.
You take the most gorgeous pictures.

Ok Anna! August should be your very F-A-V-O-R-I-T-E month. Afterall, your very favorite Auntie was born on the 28th day!
Love the little woopdeedoo guy though.
