Dog Days of Summer

Tuesday, July 20, 2010

"Dog Days" (Latindiēs caniculārēs) are the hottest, most sultry days of summer. Dog Days can also define a time period or event that is very hot or stagnant, or marked by dull lack of progress. The name comes from the ancient belief that Sirius, also called the Dog Star, was somehow responsible for the hot weather - Wikipedia { the Know Everything Source }


This is exactly what's been happening in our Casa at the moment, lots of projects to complete for our sons redo, but little progress. The weather is finally cooling off into the low to mid 90's in Northern California, after dealing with 100+ degree weather over the weekend. We'll take any 'cool down' we can get - lol




Meanwhile, Mojo and the family have been chilling in side playing: Uno, Connect Four and lots of Chess. 




Have you been experiencing the Dog Days of Summer?

  3. Oh yeah! It hasn't been much better on the east coast - I love the summer and all, but this is a little too hot even for me.

  4. Down here in Atlanta, we started getting August weather in early June! It has been smoldering hot around here, but oddly enough I'm loving it. I'm usually a fall and winter kind of girl, but after all of this rain and cold in 2010, my skin is still hungry for vitamin D!

  5. I have soooo many painting projects that are on hold due to the humidity. Our electric bill this month was crazy high because we've run the air so much.

    Hope you're staying cool.

  6. Cute pup. Our bill was astronomical this month. Well, not really, but it was $50 higher than last month.
