But it doesn’t need to be fancy. Just invite a couple of friends over, open some cold drinks and throw something on the barbeque. Delightful (and maybe meaningful) conversation will follow. Another good option is packing a picnic and heading to one of our wonderful parks or great coastal beaches. Whatever you do, take a moment to relax into summer. “Breathe the sweetness that hovers in August.” —Denise Levertov welcome back PHOTOGRAPHY: COURTESY OF JACK OWICKI
