August 15 : Rain in the night and dog-day weather again after two clear days. I do not like the name "dog-days." Can we not have a new name for this season? It is the season for mould and mildew and foggy, muggy often rainy weather.
-Thoreau's Journal, 1858.
A Thoreau scholar and friend posted this. Seemed fitting as I listen to the rain pelt my window thus evening.
