Was thinking of Dog Days of Summer which seems to have forgotten us here in the northeast 😆 And how it came to be a phrase... "When Sirius would appear in the sky just before the sun, near the end of July, that marked the beginning of the very hottest days of the year. The Romans referred to this period as "dies caniculares" or "days of the dog star," which was eventually translated as just "dog days."
