~ Dog Days ~

It's that time of year...you know...

it seems like it has been hot

 forever...

and you can't remember the last

time you heard it rain....and the

humidity....is it possible for it to

be more than 100 %?

Once again I understand the

 "dog days of summer" phrase.

 If I were a dog, I would

lay around on the porch, or in the

shade and nap

all . the . live . long . day.

One morning, David and I just weren't

in the mood to do chores, so we took

a little drive and wound up at

a place called Uncertain, Texas.

 How would you like to tell folks you

were from Uncertain? Could be a little

confusing, I'm thinkin'. 

It is just over the state line in Texas

and we went there looking

for a catfish resturant we had heard about.

We arrived just in time for lunch.

Even though it was a very warm day,

we opted to sit on the screened porch

overlooking the river bend.

The scenery was worth the outside seat!

Spanish moss framed the boaters

as they cruised around the bend.

Such a peaceful place to

enjoy fried catfish, hushpuppies,

cole slaw and sweet tea.

(did I mention peach cobbler?) 

I am sure there is a logical reason

for the name Uncertain.

Maybe with this much beauty,

they just couldn't decide which

lovely name to call their little

community.

We traveled on to the little town of

Jefferson, Tx. for an afternoon of

browsing the antique shops.

I will share more about that next time.

For now, I am staying cool and

enjoying these "dog days". They will

be gone soon enough and the next

season will be upon us.

That seems to be happening way to fast

these days.

Till next time,
