Sextlil is Here!

August, Formerly Sextilis is another month named for a Roman Ceasar.

Quintilis was formerly the sixth month in the ancient Roman year, when March was the first month of the calendar.
August is the eighth month of the Gregorian, or New Style, calendar now in use consisting of 31 days. In the ancient Roman calendar, that started with March as the first month, was called Sextilis a Latin word for six, sex.
August was named after Augustus Caesar in 8 B.C. When Julius Caesar adopted his nephew and made him heir, the Roman Senate named Caesars' successor "Augustus" meaning "revered" and named a month to honor him. Augustus himself, took one day from February and added it to August so that his month would have 31 days -- as did July -- the month of his uncle Julius.

What plans do you have for Sextilis? Many children are returning to school this month. What happened to beginning school after Labor Day?
I'll continue swimming this month, and my husband and me have plans to visit local area's we haven't had the pleasure to take in.
What ever your Sextilis (August) takes you, enjoy and be safe!
