August is almost over, yay! Relentless heat and drought. My poor garden. Hopefully September won’t be all about the weather.

Five Things Friday 8/7/26
August always makes me think of the Dog Days of August when the summer weather is at its hottest, and the humidity is unbearable, and people lose their minds a bit. As it turns out, there are The Dog Days of Summer to reckon with, from July 3rd to August 11th. That explains a lot about this particular summer, doesn’t it? I’m hopeful then that August 12th brings a turn towards cool autumn breezes, less humidity, and reasonable heat.

Five Things Friday 5/29/26
Welcome back to Five Things Friday. I’ve been pootling around in Facebook again, which means I take screenshots of everything that interests me. I think I captioned the Things in the past but I’m guessing no one ever read those captions so I’ll just let the Things speak for themselves.
