Longing for summer

Today was grey, rainy and miserable: I can taste wet concrete and mushy dead leaves in the air, and my wool coat smells like damp dog. I can't wait to escape the dim gloom of winter and get back to Austin!

"Summer is the time when one sheds one's tensions with one's clothes, and the right kind of day is jewelled balm for the battered spirit. A few of those days and you can become drunk with the belief that all's right with the world." ~ Ada Louise Huxtable
