Dog Days of Summer

dog days of summer

Without a doubt we have all heard that expression!! And quite a few songs have been written pertaining to and titled as such. But I was curious as to when and why this phrase became associated with one of my favorite seasons. So of course I googled it and found out that the phrase “dog days of summer” has been used since ancient Roman times. Also the Greeks had a similar phraseology associated with dog days of summer!!

Obviously summer gets very hot and humid, mans best friend is known to seek shade and lay about. HAH like us humans don’t either!! (hammock under a tree) But we all know on the hottest of days our dogs are not as active, unless of course you have a pool!! But I digress the Romans coined the phrase “diēs caniculārēs” or “dog days”. Because the sun occupies the same region as Sirius in the summer. And Sirius is part of the constellation Canis Major, meaning big dog. Sirius is the brightest star and the Greeks refer to it as “scorcher”. So there you go, this phrase has been used for millennia!!

Dog Days of Summer enjoy them

Clearly summer provides us longer days to enjoy good old summertime!! So take advantage of getting a little sun; my doctor told me I needed to get at least 15 minutes of unprotected sun to raise my vitamin D levels. We all know how important vitamin D is to our bones, teeth and muscles!! After your 15 minutes of exposure then apply your sunscreen. Moreover as we age our body needs supplementation of essential nutrients. For this reason I researched a fantastic company to provide you with all natural plant based products to do just that!!! This is science at it’s finest, breakthrough science!! Please visit my Health & Fitness category to get important information about these amazing products!!!

Fall or Autumn? Either are UnbeLEAFable!!

fall or autumn

Definitely growing up in Michigan the fall colors are a “thing”!! So whether you prefer to call it Fall or Autumn, either are unbeLEAFable!! Such a splendor of color and bounty as the apple and pumpkin harvest is underway. No doubt all the northern states have their share of beautiful color in the fall. But it does come down to our fond childhood memories of what fall means to you. And I have plenty that bring back many happy memories!!

Because Michigan is known for their Fall color tours, they map out the best road trips to enjoy this spectacular display. Along with the roadside farmer stands to get our apples and pumpkins. (Can you tell I love apple and pumpkin pie!!) As a child our family went on many of these excursions every weekend and had a blast. And learned a lot, the history of the little towns we visited and yes geography.

Fall or Autumn why both?

Obviously both terms are interchangeable and acceptable. The term Fall is thought to come from and old english word “fiaell” which means to fall from a height. And the term Autumn came from the Latin word “autumnus,” a latin root referring to the passing of the year. Also because of the “Autumnal Equinox” which occurs around September 21st, an equinox means the length of day and night are equal.

Fall or Autumn prepares us for Winter

Without a doubt many have divided feelings about winter, they love it or can live without it. Of course being a life long Michigander the drudgery of clearing snow becomes oh so weary. But the beauty of fresh snow against our beautiful northern scenery is spectacular!! Along with all the fun activities to play in our Winter Wonderland, so I roll with it and Enjoy It!!

As I have gotten older the activities have changed now I no longer speed through the snow on a machine. Admittedly I enjoy a more tranquil and quiet time to admire my surroundings. By breathing in the fresh clean crisp air and reflect upon the beauty and peace. Granted I get a little helpful nudge in the morning to get my juices flowing. Rather than curling up under the covers I awake and take my brain food. An amazing product that provides me with energy, focus and clarity. Along with being all natural this is a godsend for my memory!! And I truly appreciate the advancements in outdoor gear to keep me warm too!!

Winter Wonderland Beautiful Sights

To be sure after a fresh snowfall is the best time to take in the beautiful sights. Nobody likes dirty snow and sludge!! In this situation our winter wonderland is best seen fresh and pure.

A good way to warm up after my little forays outdoors is with a cup of coffee, we all like our coffee a certain way.
