Summer's early sway

The only way to host a dinner party in Georgia this time of year is to host it outside. Reading has moved outside as well. Athens hosted a foodcart festival this weekend--grand idea, not so wonderfully executed because all the food was from Atlanta. I have heard that some strange food service laws in the state prevent the food truck culture from picking up here. In other news, eating on a patio at a regular cafe is miraculously similar to eating out of a truck. Maybe better?

Athens comes alive when the warm weather takes over, and seriously I am thankful for good friends and lots to do during this slightly tense month of my life. More to come.
