July 12, 2012 - Coasting Towards Fall

Two of Summer's major holidays are now done - Memorial Day and the 4th of July--, that leaves the annual Harry Potter Birthday Bash on July 31st (1:30-3:30 p.m.) and Labor Day and that will be that for Summer. By the time September rolls around, the days will be noticeably shorter (Well, they already are if you are paying real close attention.) the plants will be finishing off and turning sere (oh, wait, they already are sere - but not because they're finishing their productive season), and there will be a little chill in the air. Perhaps this heat wave will take the place of the dog days of summer and let us cost on towards Fall. One can but hope. In the meantime, there are plenty of new books on our shelves for your reading pleasure. Cast your eyes down the page to find a title that might just be the perfect book to read in the shade of that big old tree in your backyard, or under the umbrella by the pool, or on your screened in porch. Stay cool and enjoy the reading!
