Deep Summer and Dandelion Wine!

I stepped outside just after dawn this morning, as I often do to get a dose of exercise first thing. I never tire of that first breath of fresh morning air, breathing in the world long and warm and slow. The trick, as I see it, is to make each day of summer feel like the first. That breath transports me to a place so deep inside I think it must reside in bone marrow! Do you have a favorite season? Mine is summer. While October is my favorite month because of the spectacle of autumn colors, as an entire season, summer is incomparable—despite the heat, which wrecks it for some people. At least we haven’t had debilitating heat so far; it’s been a mild, wet summer in contrast with last year.
