\u201cSummer always overstays its welcome by about a month,\u201d my colleague Elizabeth Bruenig wrote last week. \u201cAfter the Fourth of July, which has its charms, nothing but a stretch of relentless heat lies ahead, reaching toward Labor Day, and I begin to yearn for fall.\u201d That yearning is reflected in American consumer culture: \u201cBy mid-August, grocery stores are stocking their shelves with autumnal goods\u2014pumpkin-pie Pop-Tarts, cinnamon-maple Frosted Flakes, pumpkin-spice cinnamon rolls in pressurized cardboard tubes.\u201d<\/p>\n

This early push to transition into fall can make us lose sight of what\u2019s so special about the season we\u2019re in now. For Bruenig, it\u2019s accompanying her children on adventures and watching them play freely. For others, it might be spending more time with loved ones, travelling, or enjoying the simple pleasure of ice cream (although it is my personal belief that ice cream has no seasonal limits). Today\u2019s newsletter explores how to make the most of the end of summer\u2014without putting too much pressure on yourself to do it perfectly.<\/p>\n
