Nothing but hot, hot, hot and dry weather is in the forecast for at least the next week. It is pure July in St. Louis and it feels like what used to be called the "dog days," supposedly because the Dog Star (Sirius, to us amateur astronomers) was at the highest point in the daytime sky. (Please don't ask me how people know where a star is in the daytime. It involves mathematics, something I was not ever good at.)Anyway, we are having our own Dog Days celebration as Miss Ava came across the driveway for the rest of the week to keep us company and help guard our place against baby bunnies and feral kittens. She looks much too solemn in this photo, but then, she doesn't like to pose for pictures, either. Before I could snap another one, she became a blur heading for the kitchen to see if it was time for supper yet.
