Start of August Month Eight with one of my favorite songs.

This year is really flying but I cannot say it any better than Paul Simon using the song lyrics of 'April she will Come' 
one of my favorite songs.

I am still really enjoying doing my Project 366 it has been very challenging at times but very rewarding too, I love all the comments and likes which I receive daily on Facebook which really drives me on everyday. Seven months down five to go.
