Dog Days of Summer

These glorious days of summer are just as they should be.  Hot, dry (albeit too dry for the garden's taste), and even a a tad lazy!  I am able to get some projects done in the cool of the day, and certainly meet up with any people or dogs that need my services, but when the afternoons roll around I am called to the water.  I load up the dogs, and sometimes the husband, and we head to one of several nearby lakes to refresh ourselves in the blissful waters. The swimming is so divine and cleansing... the kayaks often get called into action, and yesterday it was a sail on our catboat (ironic, isn't it?  Dogs on a cat?), all of which sooth our heat soaked souls.  And make for a good night's sleep at the end of the day!
