Blue skies with a touch of puffy white clouds. A cool breeze blows and ruffles your hair. The smells of barbeque and cut grass mix together to form a familiar fragrance. Neighbors coming out of hibernation from their places of dwelling to share experiences, swap stories, discus recent events and troubles. The neighborhood sidewalk socializing group has met. A meeting as such can be called at anytime, morning, noon, after dark etc. We will continue meeting sporadically until a biting New England wind drives us back into hibernation. (We do meet during the winter but quite infrequently. And we usually bring shovels and snow blowers to winter meetings.) But, back to the here and now. An occasional car zooms past, and conversation is temporarily drowned out. Someone calls supper. Meeting adjourned! Summer is here...
