1. True or False: You can wear white shoes after Labor Day.
(Please explain to me why!)
Well, I was taught,
growing up, that unless you were a medical professional, a bride, or a tennis
player, white clothing was for summer only. I have no idea why—maybe because
you can leave white clothes out in the sun to bleach them? I pretty much ignore
that rule these days.
2.
If "the dog days" are in August, when are "the cat days"?
Oh, that’s easy! The days between Christmas and New Year’s, when
you cuddle up with your cat to read/listen/watch your Christmas presents and
drink hot chocolate! In front of a fireplace, if possible.
3.
Share a memory from your life of going back to school.
I always had mixed feelings. I actually liked school, mostly,
and I liked all the bustle and organization of getting ready to go back. At the
same time, I really liked the laziness of summer—getting up when I felt like
it, spending whole days reading or playing Monopoly or hanging out at a friend’s
house, the special stuff we did on summer weekends, like going to visit
relatives or a special attraction like an arboretum or garden or some such (my
mom and I are/were gardening geeks). So really, back to school was bittersweet.

My dad had a rhyme he used to tell us: "I eat my peas with honey;
I've done it all my life. It makes the peas taste funny, but it keeps them on
my knife!" What's
the strangest use for honey you've ever heard of?
A facial mask and to preserve zoological specimens.
But apparently it has had many uses…

BONUS:
Summer gardens! Got one? What are you growing?
Not this year—no yard, not even a balcony or appropriate place
for a window box…plus my cat loves to chew on green things, so not even a
potted rosemary plant.

yes, I almost said the same thing re: cats....good play.
Now your comment about white shoes makes sense to me! :) Especially since it's going to hot here throughout he month of September and I'll still be wearing my summer clothes. Fun play. LOVE the Cat Days idea. :)
