i don't really know what the phrase "dog days of summer" means ... but it came to mind this morning, as did this picture i had scanned last winter ...
it's a warm day here in Manitoba ... i have "staining the house" on my brain plus other chores that need doing, but my body is saying - swimming would be more fun ... *smile* ... well true as that may be, i think i will just have to do things i should today ...
back to the dog days of summer - does that just mean that we are tuckered out by warm weather? or does that mean the last days in the season?
just wondering ... but now i need coffee ... maybe my brain will kick into gear then! maybe?

Dog days of summer comes from the Sirus star, the dog star. At this time of the year the star rises early and high in the sky, hence, the dog days of summer.
Incidently, Sirus, is only 9 light years from earth, by cosmic standards one of the our neighbours.
thank you ... i appreciate that!
If you need a second confirmation on those "dog days...", you will find it on my blog and, oddly enough, the same cartoon!
Have a nice day!
mohawk chieftain ... :o) ... left a note there for ya!
