Makes perfect sense when you are on vacation. 💤 That and I've become a night owl lately. Hah!
Summer
July 25, 2018 9:37 am Update
Tomorrow is the last day with an average high of 83 degrees.
Friday the average high is 82 degrees, as we start the long but steady decline in average temperatures, which will decline until we reach an average high of 30 during the second week of January.
August is Coming Quickly
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.
