I plan on doing a monthly feature post for my blog, and if I say what the post is going to be regarding, I might not get the type of response I am looking for. I want to know what August reminds you of. It can be holidays, weather, flowers, colors, fashion - the sky is the limit, but please be specific, and if you can, elaborate on why.
If you are interested in what I am going to do with all of your responses, there is a link to my blog in my profile, and the specific post that I am getting this information for will be posted on Sunday August first. You can also message me and I will let you know. I just don't want to "taint" the responses that I might get!

Football season! That and back to school, though this year I won't be affected by schools being back in session other than when I am driving around during commute times.

I used to make payout every month but then I got busy so I didn't post as often. It's against the rules to talk about specific amounts but if you want to try and figure out how much time you need to spend to earn what you want keep track of what you post and then check the earnings page. Just don't share any numbers or your posts will get deleted and maybe even your account.

And make sure you don't post things in the wrong places, too! Your earnings will grow if you post in the appropriate topics!
Thanks for your response, I would have never thought of football! Thanks for the help, it's going to help me on my blog post next month!

August for me is the start of the 3 savings month.Since Christmas will be due in 5 months as August enters, I usually start saving during this month.

August reminds me of get-togethers, because I have a lot of friends who are celebrating their birthdays on August, that's why it won't pass without us seeing each other. And these are the friends that I have known since forever.. I mean we have been friends since we were in elementary days and yearly get togethers are really a big thing for us.

The month of August is special to me. My late husband celebrated his birthday in August. My teen daughter and my mother-in-law also celebrate August birthdays. It is also the month we get ready for back to school. August is also time for the fair here. August is a busy month for me.

This month always reminds me of my 1st real girlfriend back in high school. The real one I say because I was so young then but all the happy and painful moments just felt so damn real and when we broke up it even took me two years to recover.That was more than a decade ago but every year I would always just remember that it is her birth month even though I don't always remember to greet her on her specific day.

I live in Texas and in Texas we have lots of sports and heat. So I remember football and triple-digit heat. I remember getting in the pool only to have it feel like bath water. :[
I also remember the beginning of school and seeing all the people you haven't seen in a while.

Of course, reminds me of my last experience which was also the nicest, from the last year. I was doing a stage of practice in Italy, so in august i was in Italy, visiting Florence, i was so happy, it was the first time i was visiting Florence, and i was so impressed of what i saw there, so amazing.

When I think about the month of August the first thing that comes to mind is the extremely hot weather. The temp averages close to 120 around here. Since the previous town I lived in never got this hot this is always something I notice about August in the place I'm currently living in. August is also a month for quite a few events too. I'm also reminded of my parent's anniversary, on the 23rd, as well as the day my family came to the United States, which is the 25th. And finally, August is associated with going back to school even though I am no longer in school myself. There's the hustle and bustle of school shopping and kids running around the stores during this month.

Well month of August is kind of special to me.
It mainly reminds me of three things.
Firstly it reminds me of our Independence Day on 15th day of August. My country India got Independent on 15 August 1947 and since then this day is observed as Independence Day of India and it is a national holiday for us.
Second thing is that my Sister and my father have their birthdays in this month on 6th and 14th respectively and that makes this month special for me.
Third thing is that it is in the month of August that my college reopen after a 2 month long Summer vacations. So it is the month that my life again gets busy.
So overall August month has a special place for me in the calender.
Take Care :)

Sadly, August marks the end of the summer. For me, the month of August is a wondrous and special month. I was born on August 11th... and it is the month of the strongest sign... the Leo.
