You have to have the potato chips. Fanned out across the plate. That's what makes it a summer sandwich. And there should be some sweat on your brow as you remove your sunglasses and mop your face with whatever is closest to hand. Thankfully it was just comfortably hot and not dangerous hot. That's coming in a few days and in our future. But  this afternoon I was able to test out my new lounge chair and stare out at my garden careful not to turn my head too quickly so I wouldn't spook the birds lunching at the bird feeder. They were just about accepting the fact that I was friend and not foe. ("Who do you think filled the bird feeders?" I wanted to say but didn't. Then on the way to turn off the hose my eye caught an insect flitting around that turned out to be a hummingbird. I stayed perfectly still as I watched it go about its business visiting the goosenecks one by one its vibrating like a tiny high-powered propeller. I stood there for a while watching until time seemed to slow down and then stop.
