Dog Days of Summer
I think that the "Dog Days of Summer" can often get as daunting as the "Dead of Winter." It's been so hot here! But as I looked at my calendar, I realized that summer vacation is almost over. My husband will be going back to work soon, and my youngest daughter will be embarking on her first school adventure as she starts Pre-School. (The thought of her starting school makes me want to cry, but that of course is a whole other article...I'll tell you about that later.)
