I guess this answers the question about where I'll be sleeping tonight.

**Throkda** · 07-22-2011, 08:12

Yup -- I may just have to camp in the backyard tonight...

I saw it in the subject line of a sale ad for Big Dogs shirts and stuff and had to look it up.

When: Always on July 22nd.

Summer is in full swing. It's time to slow down and to relax. During the Dog Days of summer (and all of the other summer days, too), there is no better place to slow down and relax, than on a hammock.

Hammock Day is appropriately celebrated right in the middle of the Dog Days of summer (July 3 though August 11th.

Hammock Day exists to enjoy summer as it should be enjoyed. People celebrate Hammock Day by spending as much time relaxing on it as possible. Getting out of your hammock to get a snack, or your favorite summer beverage is okay. But, it is not a day for work. Cutting the lawn is forbidden on this day.

The roots of Hammock Day and Hammock Day history is largely unknown. Maybe the originator was too busy napping on his or her hammock!?!

Unfortunately, I'm with the Too Hot To Hammock crowd today. Heat index over 120 already , and tonight would be miserable unless I ran an extension cord and a couple of floor fans out to the back yard "Designated Hammock Mods Testing Area".

Happy Hammock Day to all of us and Happy Birthday to those deserving such.
