Idyll: an extremely happy, peaceful, or picturesque episode or scene.

August in the northern hemisphere of Planet Earth: hot, maybe with a breeze somewhere (hopefully). Everything's ripening for fall. The days are still long. That river water looks inviting. You don't want to go anywhere. You have no plans. You can't think about autumn yet. You have no ambitions.

Can you remember your most idyllic August? Tell us about it.

Were you a kid? A teenager in love? At home in the backyard? Visiting friends or relatives? At camp? Far away in an exotic (to you) place?

Did time stand still? Run backwards? Rush ahead in your imagination?

There might be a plot to your story – or not. It's up to you and your memory. Share the moment with us.

We want to be lazy and content, too.
