It's about 6 weeks until summer. The weather is gorgeous already, although it is still springlike, with a refreshing cool quality to the air. The pressing heat of the summer sun has yet to arrive. Meteorologists are still adding "chance of showers" to forecasts, I'm sending my girls on outings with hoodies along just in case, our cars still have condensation on the windows in the morning.
Everywhere I go I'm seeing the delightful signs of the season: gals wearing summery fashions, people bicycling and riding motorcycles, animals out for walks and runs in the park, people eating on patios at home and at restaurants, convertibles on the car lots and on the roads, politicians going to court (wait, that's a year-round thing), and so on.
I don't know if there is a better time of year. Anticipation of summer and school holidays for my girls, the feeling that the year is still new, the sense of momentum gained while still lots of possibilities.
May has a real good feel.
