Okay, yes… this post is very late. Please do your best to ignore the little sneak peek of September’s cat in the photo and pretend to be surprised next month. Deal? 😄

August brought a little bit of everything to my temperature cross stitch project. The month started off cooler than normal, heated up with a solid hot streak in the middle, and then eased back into cooler-than-usual temperatures by the end. The shifting weather definitely showed up in my stitches, with a mix of warmer shades surrounded by slightly softer tones.

In Burke, the average daily temperatures ranged from 64.4ºF to 83.2ºF. It was still plenty warm, but nowhere near the steady, relentless heat of July, and the color variation this month really reflected that change.

It’s wild how quickly this project is coming together, and even wilder that there are only a few cats left to go for the year.
