Summer is officially coming to a close. I can’t speak for everyone but thank goodness. As I have stated previously, Summer is by far not my favorite season. This Summer in particular wasn’t pleasant.

Nevertheless, August has come and gone. We are stepping into the colorful embrace of autumn and with that comes the monthly “DJ Dragonfly’s Favorites.”
