This is the time of year when die-hard
city people spend every moment they can in their patios, balconies, or if they
are lucky, backyards. Like all good
things that cannot be taken for granted, outdoor life heightens the pleasure of
city living. Attempts to make the
retreat more appealing tend to become an avocation. Lawns take on borders, flower beds, and
vegetable patches. Ideas for projects
never stop coming. Somehow the
imagination becomes unfettered. We love
to cook outdoors, set the table on the patio-even for breakfast. Hospitality flourishes, people drop by, and
open house becomes a way of life.
I could say more, but it’s time for
lunch…I’ve got to go.
