Breaks of August

I remember how in what we refer to as the old time days, I as a child would play with others like me in the August's season's summer sun.

The yard that resonated with giggles and games like hide- and-seek, cricket, football or catch. That's the August I knew the days of time past. That's the long of it and the short is the period of September where the days of school and early to bed early to rise would start up on-going for months again till another break would swoop in.
