How to hang on to summer

We are in the last third of August, and if you live where I do in Southern California, some contradictions are apparent. First, the weather doesn’t change - it’s hot through October, so we stay in our cotton dresses, shorts, and flip-flops. Next, many of us are back to school, so we live the daily routine of work, home, work even though the sun is shining and the surf is up. Finally, we have the weekends, and I latch onto every drop of that to extend summer as long as I can. Here are a few ideas to do the same.
