Backyard Almanac: August so far is just a watered-down July




Backyard Almanac show

Summary: So far, August is shaping up to be July ... at 50% intensity, or something. It's been warmer than normal (but not as much as last month) and drier than normal (but not as much as last month). "Awesome August," as Larry calls it, does have it's own unique charms, too: like it's own wildflowers, the earlier wildflowers going to seed, and an abundance of animals, birds and insects on the move.
