August '15 word nomination time

July 24th, 2015
Once again, drama over the word list. Who'd have guessed that would happen. Computer trouble is probably my middle name lately. If you did not see the other post, I have not tagged participants because of this. I am working on it, but don't have a time line to fix it. I will start a new list of participants, just in case. So, even if you don't want to nominate a word, please leave a post, so that I can add you to the new list I am creating. Thank you for your help.

On top of that I was stung twice in one week...and I am allergic...and it was my right hand both times. So, haven't been able to pick up my camera of late. But it is much better today. Yeah! Oh, it will all come together soon, I just know it.

Thank you to all that have participated in the" July '15 word list" word challenge.

August is right around the corner. Oh, how I don't like that. I love my summers here in the Northern Hemisphere. I am sure that there are some of you in the Summer Hemisphere that can't wait for their summer to start. It will be here before you know, and we will be deep into winter...eeks. So, let's start nominating words for August.

As always, it could not be easier…

Simply nominate your word to this forum post and it may be included. You can nominate as many words as you like and if you see a word you like, just add it again... (The more times a word is mentioned, the greater the chance it will be used). I will then count up the number of times that a word has been added and the top 31 will be our list for the aug15words.

Please make your suggestions for “August '15 Word List” between now (7/24) and 12 p.m. Thursday July 30th, for them to be included. As always, if you have a word that you would like to see on a particular day, please nominate which day as well, for example: 12th Middle (for Middle Child's Day) or 25th Lips (for Kiss and Make Up Day).

You can check out more dates here:
August Holidays

You can check out random words here: Random Word Generator

There are eight bonus words for August and these will be; Birthday, Anniversary, Leo, Virgo (star signs), Peridot and Sardonyx (birthstone) and Gladiolus and Poppy (birth flowers), so you do not need to suggest those.

I have to be honest I haven't participated as regularily as I used to in the past ( after a years break on 365) but find it hard to think of "new" words or subjects not having been used a few times before such as summer, sun or sun glasses. Willing to give it a go, when more creative people than I am suggest something a bit out of the ordinary. Hope you get what I mean.
How about :
canicular days
joyride
splash
almost autumn
Don't know if these ever were suggested, if so I sorry

Cattle - or maybe more generally "farm stock"

splash

I liked the way you put winter /summer in July words - if following with "almost autumn" can you please make it "almost spring / autumn" so those in the southern hemisphere can also get a photo for the word.

Thanks for doing the lists.
