August in Luray

August in Luray
Things are quiet here in the valley. It's too hot to do much of anything. My lawn is nothing but weeds. The grass is gone or brown. The weather man said it was sleeping. I think it's dead. There are lots of tourist in town during the weekends. Yesterday we drove past the Caverns and the parking lots was full on a Saturday afternoon. It is only 54 degrees down there so a nice place to visit. Luray doesn't have a pool but does allow swimming at the reservoir. The mountains were very clear this morning and as I took my walk I could see all the way down the valley to Massenutten sky resort.
There isn't much news in town. They have started work on building the new high school. The last time a high school was built in Page County was in 1961. Folks here with kids are very excited about this new construction finally happening after years of promises. All I see is my taxes going up. I can't wait till fall when all the leaves change color and the weather is cool and dry. It's my favorite time of year. Stay cool-
