This morning, I opened every window and dodged cats scrambling for prime positions from which to Why-I-Oughta snickering squirrels. We took our coffees and sat on the porch. The air was still. Sunlight dappled the lawns. For the first time in months, I was warm enough without footie pajamas, a slanky and ear muffs. Two loads of laundry dried on the line. Tomorrow, we install window boxes, lettuces in containers, a summer state of mind.
