Great leaps forward

We've leapt into summer without stopping for spring here in DC. My personal barometer is the yellow silk twinset which is not warm enough for winter but is too warm for Washington's summer humidity. I managed to wear it only once before the days turned to 80 degrees F, now I will put it away until the fall. The weather's also produced a string of heavy precipitation. My snapdragons on the balcony are bent over from taking the hail. Inevitably they spring back, the potential for destruction mixed with the elements of growth and creation.
