🌞🌡️ Not Walking Weather, Rose 🚶🏻♀️🐺
You mean 🌞 Summer 🔥 is going to get even hotter before it’s over? Are you Sirius? It can’t be over soon enough…
🔥 Scorcher 🔥
The heat was so intense that it seemed to rise in waves from the earth. ~Willa Cather, My Ántonia
Temps are rising again. Who needs it?
I guess it’s good for something, but I can’t imagine what.
The only thing that’s good for me about it is to make me appreciate 🍁🧸☕ Cozy Season ☺️🥧🍂 when it finally comes.
For now, I hunker down in the AC with my shaggy little Pocket 🐺 Wolf, and wait for it to be over.
Dog 🐕 Days
What (And When) Are The Dog Days Of Summer? | The Curiosity Desk
So, we’re just waiting for Orion’s hunting hound to peek up over the horizon?
No, as usual, axial tilt is the reason for the season.
The manner in which the planet orbits the sun is neither circular nor flat.
We follow a skewed elliptical path, and the planet is tilted on its axis.
The upshot is that when our hemisphere is tilted toward the sun, we get the heat and haze associated with my least favorite season.
When our hemisphere is tilted away, we get nicer weather and comfier clothes.
As for the naming convention, the video explains that Sirius “the Dog Star” is the brightest star in Canis Major (Big Dog).
Well, when I think of big dogs I automatically think of George Thorogood…

Pocket 🐺 Wolf
The dog lives for the day, the hour, even the moment. ~Robert Falcon Scott
And she lives for rebuking passersby.
Trash men, Amazon delivery people, folks walking or bicycling by?
They all get a savage rebuke from my tiny little fuzzball.
She has one job and she does it well, whether you’re on the phone or a Teams meeting.
Nothing stops the protective fury of a pewter-colored Yorkie mix taking her job seriously.
Having discharged her duties faithfully, she goes back to her napping in anticipation of Kelly’s return.
With Rose around, every day is a dog day.
Who could ask for anything more?
That’s all for today. See you back on Saturday for 🍉
