The weather conditions are nothing to play with so if you know you’ll be outside all day keep water and energizing snack with you.

DOG DAYS of SUMMER

The Dog Days of Summer,

They make you wonder,

Why are these hot humid days so long,

You will get through them just be strong,

Weather that plays with your mood,

Temperatures that cause people to fued,

The humidity is really rude,

The type of conditions that’ll give the nicest person a bad attitude,

The days where you might want to lay around your home,

Heat makes you want to be left alone,

Feeling less than energized during these Dog Days of Summer,

But when they are gone it could be a bummer.
