Outside it smells like summertime; heat wavering off metallic cars, the grass slowly drying out, burning concrete and bricks. Makes you feel like the dragonflies should be abuzz soon, with their flips and races, their rapid fleeting wings and tails of red and blue. What is fall, but preparation for Winter, and what is Spring, but early summer?
