Sure the weather is nice, the trees and flowers are in bloom, and birds are everywhere, but say you’re in a state park, next to a trout stream, and it doesn’t get dark until nine o’clock. You’re not going to go inside the house before dark, are you? And then you want to take a walk around the camp loop in the dark because the moon is so bright you don’t even need a flashlight. Now it’s ten o’clock and you haven’t even checked the evening’s email yet. Then, suddenly, it’s eleven o’clock and you haven’t taken a shower yet.
I tell you, summer is exhausting. But I guess it could be worse. We could live farther north where the summer days last even longer.
