from the editor Catch the moment VOLUME This, i know: watermelon seeds will stick to the back of the neck with the vigor of a hungry tick — especially when spat from short range without the victim’s knowledge. sisters will run over you with their bicycles, if you refuse to clear the way. whether a person is 3 or 20, older sisters always have a “better idea” and are able to convince everyone else to agree with them. when coursing over back mountain roads and darting in and out of glorious rays of sunshine set off by deep greens and floating motes of dust, it pays to take note when dates, girlfriends or wives tell you they are carsick. Large dogs generally give no warning of carsickness. small dogs will invade tomato bushes and eat heartily without a gardener’s permission. The same dogs will fertilize the living room rug when tomatoes interact with their less-than-cast-iron intestinal systems. Cats who are especially fond of you will offer fresh kill on a regular basis. A gentle waft in the breeze will gaudily announce the decay of undiscovered dyed eggs in the scorching days that invariably follow Easter. Cousins will demand more candy from grandma’s treat jar because they don’t get to visit as often. Cucumbers and certain other summer vegetables will grow so fast that you have to shut your windows so they don’t climb into bed with you. The gurgling of a sprinkler system coming on allows just enough time for an unwary spouse to exit the spray zone — especially if the trick has been played before. sixty-pound jackhammers should come with warning labels cautioning against back injury. so should shovels, picks and just about any long-handled garden implement. Pizza is wonderful on the grill. Breaking up, cutting down and demolishing are more fun that cleaning up, digging out and sweeping. A plant depends on the soil in which it is rooted. summer is around the corner. Almost everyone we know lives in the same space we occupy: news doesn’t encourage; hours and work can be long and difficult; bills and taxes; planning and cleaning; and new projects that seem to leap out every day. still, it is good to remember summer. what it means, what it stands for and remember to take joy in the moment. That, i believe. This month in our magazine: home innovation and comfort; putting the wonder of spring on the plate at owen’s Bistro; the iE’s wine history and much more. Enjoy.
