Zero degrees Celsius this morning (32° F). The sun made quick work of this frost on the car, as it did last year and the year before.
Yesterday our neighbors from the campo stopped by in town, commented on how cold it was, and taught me a new saying: Julio los prepara y agosto se los lleva. July prepares something and August takes them. Huh?
Old people, they explained. The two coldest months of the year.
Julio los prepara y agosto se los lleva.
Julio los prepara y agosto se los lleva.
Being an old person, who has survived July, I am focussing on surviving August too.
