The dog days of summer are upon us! It’s that
hot, sultry time of year that can be – well a bit hot and sultry! But it is
also a wonderful time of star gazing since the sun is setting a bit earlier,
and eating juicy peaches right off the orchard trees, or fitting in a float
down the river to cool off and enjoy the tranquil peace of the lazy summer
water. This is the month that families try to fit those last activities in
before school starts again, and school shoppers look for sales. It is also a
time of harvesting. Summer gardens and orchards are producing and the bounty is
ready to set aside for a rainy day. Bottles of fruits and veggies begin to line
the storage shelves, and before we know it, we are surprised how fast those
steamy kitchens with canners boiling have filled the shelf. In the midst of the
dog days with plenty, we can put away for those winter days when storms may
blow.
