Day 135 - May 15

In most parts of the northern hemisphere - at least in most of the places we've lived so far - it's just barely turning spring.

Here in the deep south, though, we had our three days of spring sometime back in March and we've been working our way into the worst of summer pretty steadily. Summer brings its own challenges around here - like not being able to breathe outside because the air feels like water and the temperatures hovering in the 90s - but one of the great things about summer was in a bowl on our table at dinnertime tonight.

Tomato and mozzarella salad with fresh basil. The tomatoes tonight were from the grocery store, but that will change in the very near future. The basil, on the other hand, was picked from the garden (by me) minutes before it found its way into the bowl. Yum and yum!
