Spring does not really exist in the Midwest. There are months and months of hideous winter followed by months and months of mind numbing heat. If we are incredibly lucky we might experience a week or so of the type of weather we have right now.
DO NOT BLINK!!!
Windows are sporadically opened allowing splendid and rare aromas to proliferate. Flower and candy laundry detergent. I don't know who would really want their clothing to smell like bubble gum but I am thanking them. It smells yummy. Also my neighbors' dinner preparations can be enjoyed. The bacony, vinegary goodness of German potato salad and any char grilled meat makes the taste buds go into overdrive. Once it gets as hot as it will any minute windows will slam shut in favor of air conditioning. Til then things smell delish.
People here at Elder House are flashing their lighter wardrobes. The guy who looks like he has a beer keg strapped to his tummy has recently changed from his super tight green hoodie to his super tight black plaid flannel shirt. The Slavic speaking ladies are resplendent in Easter egg pastels. So cute. The kids walking home from school in the afternoon are already in shorts. No flip flops however. Are they not cool any more? I miss them.
And this afternoon, yes, I heard and saw BOTH ice cream trucks.
Rain is do back tomorrow. I warned you.
