The three warmest months of the year are June, July and August. It means today marks the end of the first half of summer.
Apologies to summer lovers, but the season is not the best for those who work overnights. Heat and light are not our friends. Good air conditioning and dark curtains get me through the summer months, but nothing beats the solid sleep helped by a cool, dark, rainy day.
There are already some hints that we're on the back end of summer. You can feel the days getting a wee bit shorter. It really accelerates when we roll in to August. The days are still hot, but an earlier sunset means the evening cool arrives a little faster.
It won't be long before I'm complaining about the snow.
