We thought we would start by sharing some 2019 Calendar pages.

This is the one Mom has for July and it fits our weather perfectly. It's so hot and humid here all we want to do is lay around. This is what the Farmer's Almanac says about Dog Days in case you have never heard the expression.

The Dog Days of Summer describes the most oppressive period of summer, between July 3rd and August 11th each year.

Why Are They Called the “Dog Days” of Summer?

The phrase is actually a reference to the fact that, during this time, the Sun occupies the same region of the sky as Sirius, the brightest star visible from any part of Earth and part of the constellation Canis Major, the Greater Dog. This is why Sirius is sometimes called the Dog Star.

Yang's page is for August, which is when he and Yin were born as best Mom can figure from their Gotcha Day of September 5th.

A page Mom colored.

Mom won the Letter R challenge.

Mom didn't place in the List Challenge. Mom finds the list challenges hard as you are given a list of things to use (so Mom has to go look for them if she doesn't have them in her stash, this time she had to find a bucket) and how many you can use.

And Mom's Year of the Snake got third place. We think the woman is loco to be that close to a snake but she did look perfect for the page. ~ATCAD
