"Dog Days" (Latin: diēs caniculārēs) are the hottest days of summer. In the northern hemisphere, they usually fall between early July and early September. In the southern hemisphere they are usually between January and early March. The actual dates vary depending on latitude and climate. 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, in close proximity to the sun was responsible for the hot weather.
I certainly hope you are not having a "dull lack of progress" this summer. I encourage you all to find a good book and read. I am on my second book this summer and already have one to begin when I finish my current one. Be sure to answer the poll on your favorite genre...I will be anxious to see the results.
Have a great summer and Keep Reading!!
Until next time,
R. O'Steen
