Let the dog in!

adjective:
Of or belonging to the summer; as, aestival diseases. [Spelled also estival.]

Far to the north and hemmed in against the Russian Bear, it is easy to overlook this land of lakes, forests, and aestival white nights.
– [i.e. Finland]

From the Latin æstas, summer.

I had to squeak this word in after summer has slipped away around the corner but before FALL truly rears its wet, dark, sneering head.

Summers here in the Pacific Northwest are mostly quite nice, not too hot and with long daylight hours. I love them. Especially after those “summers” in Juneau. Think 50’s and horizontal rain until Monday when the sun comes out brightly, gleaming while you drive to work…

Are you still enjoying aestival days around your home? Looking forward to fall?
