When we describe seasons, it\u2019s usually in relation to an experience of time. The idea of “slowness” tends to characterize summer\u2014the essence of leisure and the pleasure of feeling unlimited time. But these months can easily feel stifling, cyclical, and motionless. How you feel about \u201cendless summer\u201d boils down to basic factors\u2014 like, if you have air conditioning, small children, or curly hair. If you are fortunate enough to refer to summer as a secondary residence or something you \u201cdo,\u201d then we know what side of the equation you fall.<\/p>\n\n \n \n \n
