BLOWIN' IN THE WIND

It has been hot here in Boston lately: that oppressive, heavy sort of heat that leaves you feeling tired and listless and wanting to stay in your air-conditioned bedroom all day instead of getting up and taking advantage of summer fun. It's making me want to trade the usual summer uniform of denim shorts for a delicate, billowing skirt and conjure up a lovely breeze.
