They call August the dog days of summer.🐶 It’s hard to disagree but in many ways it’s also the time when summer starts to close itself out.🏖

Usually during the end of July I post my classic essay, “Warning Summer is an Endangered Species” because it really is. By the end of July the sun sets before 8:30 PM in Albany, and the hottest days of the year are already passed by. 🌇 Swimming pools close in four weeks and Labor Day Weekend means schools re-open. I often are quite busy with work once September rolls back around. 🌄

Time is an unstoppable force. ⏲ It’s best to embrace every day as soon those great summer days will be gone.
