July 3 thru August 11 we are in
The Dog Days of Summer
Dog Days bright and clear
Indicate a happy year;
But when accompanied by rain,
For better times, our hopes are vain.
~~unknownNamed for the Dog Star, Sirius, the brightest star in the sky other than the sun. Ancient man believed the heat from both the sun and Sirius caused the mid-summer in the northern hemisphere to be so hot. The sweltering heat and humidity have been the theme of many myths and stories that surround these days.
