Dog Days of Summer

]]>
Dog Days

According to the “Old Farmer’s Almanac,” the Dog Days of Summer in the Northern Hemisphere begin July 3 and last 40 days, until August 11. This hottest time of the year gets its name from “Sirius,” the Dog Star, which appeared at sunrise during this period in ancient times.
