Sing cuccu nu

Where do all memorable holidays begin?
Truthfully, the holiday weekend did not really begin for me here. It began in bed with a much-needed late rising. But I did pass a couple of hours at the laundromat this evening, in order to be able to ring in the summer with clean clothes. Earlier I had returned to Union Square Farmers Market to look for ramps. As I suspected-- there were no more for sale. The season is over.

But that's good news, in a way. The day was glary and sultry. I walked the streets in shorts, T-shirt and sandals. Sidewalk arguments and car-stereo music tumbled in through the open windows of my apartment. Welcome, summer.
