Dog Days of Indian Summer

Here in the Bay Area we usually finally get our Summer after Labor Day. September, October (sometimes stretching into November; I can remember Thanksgivings where it was still 'shorts weather'). The temperatures in the 70s & 80s, the sunlight has a golden hue to it, all the doggies (not to mention the humans,too) are happy. The park is full of sunbathers, the streets crowded with people ambling around enjoying this last bit of warm weather. Balmy evenings that s-l-o-w-l-y cool down overnight.
My garden is still going strong; you'd think it's June, not almost Halloween!

I guess my point is to enjoy every possible moment because soon Daylight Savings will end; the rains will make their annual appearance. So remember these days when we're in the dark, wet days of January!
