forgetful seasons

ou know summer has arrived when you start getting a sandal strap tan lines. I did a bunch of gardening with these sandals on, so I had a nice dirt layer "tan-line" but then when I took a shower to wash off the dirt, the lines didn't go away. Officially summer! We've been barbecuing and gardening and farmers market-ing like summertime pros. Summer always throws me for a loop. I'm so used to bracing for cold when I leave a building, and now when I go outside it's perfectly warm and pleasant. Now I have to brace for going into buildings with overly ambitious air-conditioning. I think I prefer that kind of bracing though. Washingtonians are notorious for complaining...
