sky is clear and blue. Schoolchildren have a nice time in July. It is the

the end of summer. It is very hot early in August, but the end of the month is

go to the south. August brings us fruit, berries, mushrooms. It is the month of
harvesting.

There are many nice warm days early in September. But nights are sometimes
cold. On the 22nd of September the day is as long night. Forests,
