OK, so if you have stepped outside at all recently, I could see why this headline could be a little misleading. But for me, the beginning of August has always marked the end of summer.

Maybe it was having to return to school while it was still 100 degrees outside but as with a lot of things in my life, my concept of time revolves around sports. When the calendar turns to August, the fall sports are starting to come alive.
