Skywatch Friday ~ The Last Friday in August

Hello friends and fellow bloggers,

I hope you are all doing well this end of the month of August.  For those of us in the western hemisphere, the end of August typically signals the end of the summer and back to school for those with children. In fact, many already seem to have begun the school year earlier this month. How did that happen?!  

Most schools where I live will start classes after the August/September long weekend and head back to classes on September 3, 2024. This rings true for school age children and those studying at the colleges and universities.

Over the past 2 weeks or so, it was raining and the temperature chilled quite a bit although the forecast is for warmer temperatures through to at least Sunday where we may reach 30 degrees Celsius. I think that will be it for our summer however and the forecast is for a colder (and wetter where I live) winter this year due to the effects of La NiƱa. I am hoping to do a bit of window proofing earlier this year to prepare for it.

Right now I'm just going to enjoy the sunshine that there is.

This photo was taken on the renovated balcony. Unfortunately, it took all summer to do the work and so we were not able to plant the garden or enjoy the finished result during the summer season. I'm now trying to see what I can do before the rain sets in this autumn.


The rest of the photos were taken at the community garden plot. 








Joining in with Skywatch Friday this week. Thank you for stopping by!

Love seeing your gardens growing again. Beautiful photos. Good to hear from you again. Yes, fall is coming to your part of the country, but not quite here in the south just yet. It's still pretty hot. Maybe late September we will see a bit of a cool down. I can't wait. Enjoy the beauty around you for us!

Our temperatures have been a bit like a yoyo this week. Today is lovely and 70s (mid, maybe high later today). Sometimes rain, 90 back a few days ago, then 60 high the next. Crazy times!
