Wow, it is almost near the end of summer and August is finally year, my favorite summer month. So let me share my excitement with you, along with some facts about the ninth month (courtesy of wikipedia).
-originally named Sextilis, because it was originally the sixth month in roman calendar
-It became the eighth month either when January and February were added to the beginning of the year
-renamed August in honor of Augustus
-August originally had 29 days, but Augustus took two days from February and gave it to August when Sextilis was renamed in his honor
enjoy your august. :]
