(late spring?)

I am in the garden with the cats - we are playing with maple seeds and long pieces of grass. A little girl next door is singing, “yummy, yummy cookies.” A breeze is rustling the fresh leaves in the trees. There is a smell of a cookout in the air. The birds are singing. It is warm enough to be out without a jacket, but not so warm that long pants would be uncomfortable. The sun is dipping to the horizon. Somewhere nearby a lawn was mowed. The mosquitoes are not yet a swarm.
