Dog Days
Watering
These are the “dog days” of summer, called so because the star Sirius (the dog star) is visible in the Eastern sky just as the sun is rising in the morning. The dog days are renowned for being the hottest of the year, so Perdita is very careful to water all the plants…

Daisies
Vanilla went to visit the Dog Daisies…

Lemonade
…and Jane was making lemonade…

Hot
…because Tansy and Constance were melting on the front porch.

Renown
Vanilla and Tipsy went to play with a puppy…he is cast iron, and has the word Renown printed on his back, but they think they’ll call him Sirius.

Quimper Hittys 
Like so many of your stories they can go from practical to useful to beautiful and then you can surprise us with comical, all in one story. That photo of Tansy and Constance sitting in front of the fan, made me laugh out loud. I’m 72 years old and still get those dreaded hot flashes (thought they were supposed to go away) the girls look like I do in front of the fan. Really makes me laugh.
Some days Constance and Tansy are too tired to think, and the lawn furniture has an irresistible pull 🙂
Once again, you fill me with delight! Thank you! The Quimper HIttys are a balm for the soul 😀 I hope that Sirius is going to fit in well with all the kitties!
The Quimper Hittys are happy to share their small adventures! Little dog Sirius will behave himself, or we will be making him a dog house!
Delightful! That fan is fantastic! Love all the pics….Perdita’s copper watering can is perfect.. NO wonder the girls want to love that puppy…so cute. Ahhhh it is the dog days here in Missouri also…Summer time!!!
The fan is essential at this time of year, so is the watering can – both little acquisitions from charity shops! That is a cute pup isn’t it! Stay cool!
They may be dog days of summer, but I’d say they are also very content, domestic days at the QH household. Thanks for sharing another cozy session from your amazing abode.
