Books -- reading and writing.
Home, cooking, the weather.
And whatever connections I can make between these chapters of my life.

CANICULE

Heatwave Word of the Day... in French.

C'est la canicule ! - It's a scorcher!

We get our dog days from the Roman theory that the star Sirius caused heat waves from end of July through August.  Canicula means little dog.



(If this makes you enjoy the heat any better, my gift to you.
Still, it's better than snowstorms, right?)
