easy-breezy

Slept with the windows open last night for the first time this spring. That's always a big milestone for me, since I come from a climate where it's too cold to open the windows at night about 8 months of the year. I love sleeping in the fresh (downtown Bristol!) air, feeling the currents blowing softly over my face, feeling more connected to the world, more IN the world. It may not have been the round, viburnum-scented, salt air of south-eastern Connecticut, but it was glorious nonetheless. I slept like a babe in arms.

that sounds sooooo nice! us, we had sugar fog this morning.
still waiting for warm nights, but when they arrive, i'm ready. i have honey-scented buddleia and dreamy dreamy lonicera japonica planted by all the windows!
so my house is always full of lost bees that need escorting out in a waterglass.

You're all so lucky. I'm here in Edinburgh - we have to keep 2 duvets and a patchwork quilt on the bed and the central heating on at night otherwise we die from hypothermia...
