more signs of spring

I'm beginning to believe that spring is actually here.  The downtown Farmers' Market opens tomorrow, friends ate lunch out side on The Deck today, our apratment pool is open, two of my grandteens will start their summer vacations next week and it's warm enough that I'm beginning to wish I had air conditioning in my car.  The service man assures me that the necesary parts for repairs should be in late next week, and, even better, the work will be covered by warrenty.  I assured a friend today that I do remember how to open my car windows in the meantime.  As I was talking with her about opening car windows, I made a cranking motion with my arm and hand as if I was rolling down a car window and she instantly recognized what I was doing.  We laughed, ruefully, realized that we were really showing our age, and tried to remember the last cars we owned with handles to open and close windows.
