These days, dog days



This is the period of time referred to as the dog days of summer.  The last 7 days and the next 7 days,  on average, are the hottest days of the year.  This year is not an exception.  Each day has been between 101 and 109 with heat indexes higher than the temperature.  What makes these days bearable is the refreshment one gets from drinking all manner of drinks - water, of course, but soft drinks, icees, smoothies, flavored teas, milk shakes, and floats too.  Ahhhh, there's nothing like refreshment in 105 degree heat.  It's that season... and season of life as well.  I'll take a cherry snow cone - large, please.  Thank you, it's hot these days.
