Well folks, we’re in the dog days of summer. Such a funny expression…. ‘dog days’ … let me look it up.
dog days
noun
-
the hottest period of the year (reckoned in antiquity from the heliacal rising of Sirius, the Dog Star).
-
a period of inactivity or sluggishness.“in August the baseball races are in the dog days”
-
I can bet that Emma is as tired of them as I am. Everything dry as parchment outside, and no rain in sight for another month. Another month or longer !
This early morning we are pacing ourselves …
At the very least… er…most… there’s lots of knitting going on.
How is your summer going? ( Or winter, if you’re in the Southern Hemisphere).
What are you up to?

You know you can … and I’m your worst influence to try and tempt you to ! 🙂
Staaaaaay ….
Emma is such a gorgeous girly. Your knitting is coming along beautifully too chookie! X
Hello Kelly ! Tell us more about you & beautiful wee Cuilean!
Kids started back to school today…so I’m house cleaning, knitting and helping a friend with a wedding this weekend. Busy with fun things!
Yay…kids back in school ! As an adult… I love that back-to-school time of year. Oh, and a wedding ! Nice !
Hi Jen! I’m back from the land of Oz. I just got on the internet to read some blogs and here was yours. We had rain for 3 weeks! And now its sunny and cool, definitely fall in the air. I don’t know if we are going to have the dog days of summer this year, it seems like we went straight from rain to fall with nothing in between. Knitting? I am, and I am on a lace scarf, 12 in X 70 in. Its a pattern, a maple leaf pattern, and beautiful hand painted yarn. Finished a bunch of cowls for my sister, and am enjoying making things for me. Oh and a little housework, just to keep up. Oreo says HI to Emma, and hopes Emma is doing fine. She looks beautiful as ever! I just heard the ice cream truck go by, I might have to run out and catch it!! Yummy!
Oh Martha, you definitely are better off with lots of rain over what we have here , which is drought. I’d love to be there about now ! Lots of nice knitting, and cowls gotta be the most satisfying and fast (( I think I’ll try one soon!)) Icecream truck???? How absolutely charming ! My favorite old-fashioned icecream is an Eskimo Bar ! ((I fondly remember my mother buying those for us)). Tomorrow when it comes by again, you can have one for me. 🙂 So nice to hear from you Martha xxx
Oh ! And Emma gives Oreo Lix. Maybe a paw on the head too. 🙂
Well the rain has finally stopped. And now I am feeling better too. It was great to sit inside and knit when it rained, but I love the fall weather we have now. And yep, I did run out to the ice cream truck and get a goody! They have all flavors and luscious things. I had enough for both of us! lol. 🙂 Oreo liked his attention from Emma, I patted him on the head for her, and he seemed quite content to know he has a cyber friend! Now I have to catch up on what you have been doing lately, so I have some reading to do.
