Tinker Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 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. ~~unknown Named 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. ~~ © ~~ Poems by Judi Van Gorder ~~ For permission to use this work you can write to Tinker1111@icloud.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
