In recognition of the upcoming Independence Day holiday in the U.S., and in what has become an annual tradition, I am reprising my 2012 essay about Time and Summer, which can be found here. I have added some new pictures this year, so even if you have read the essay in the past, you may want to take a look at this year’s version. Have a great Fourth of July holiday. Thank you to all of my loyal readers. Also, Happy July 3 birthday to frequent D&O Diary contributor, Sarah Abrams.
