You have to start living with an air conditioner again (ours was riddled with dust and had a leaky valve); you have doors and windows closed against the heat, and shades drawn against the sun. This makes- for a dark iiousc, but doesn't actually call for a loo elaborate system of readjustment. Of course the children are forever banging doors shut (or forgetting to shut them at all which is just as bad), am it does take a little lime to accustom yourself to creeping arounc in the gloom.

(I'understand thai this has something to do with jtlie contraction and dilation of the pupils of the eye; I daresay mine arc a little rusty because they don't dilate very fast anymore and quite often I don't see cobwebs, dust, or even sand.) Another i difference is that the children arc. home --all of (hem, and somehow there seem to be more than there were in the winter. I know that's just my imagination, but they louder. No longer can I sit around in a housecoat after break fast, and lazily absorb a third cup of coffee and the editorial page of the Amarillo paper. As a matter of fact there isn't any "after breakfast" anymore: Henry and I have ours at Edwin, al 8 DelL at and Sam, at 10, 11, and 12.

That alo.nc would play hob i anybody's schedule. Then, too, in the summer, activilics arc so different. All of a sudden there is grass to mow. lawns to water, weeds to pull, and aphids to squirt. The baby's plastic pool has to be blown up, filled with water, and drained every day; the garbage lias lo be emptied more often; tons of'cotton clothes have to be ironed each week although none of us has anything lo wear; il gels dark so laic that Edwin won't go to bed before 10 o'clock; everybody wants new balhing suits and Bermuda shorts, and no one wanls to do any work.

Everybody cats more, too--and so the food bills soar. Creaky and worn as I am, find these seasonal adjustments increasingly difficult to make. Maybe when next June rolls around I'll just move to a colder climate. it- Words I love. Two of my this year's favorites are rime and kudos.

Not rhyme'as in "nursery," but rime meaning a thick and hoary frost. As for kudos, you'll find it in almost any English detective novel. It means distinction- or commendation as, "he gained kudos by solving such-and-such a ease." And at last I discovered where they got-thc expression, Mayday, which has replaced the older SOS as a distress signal. It is an English phonetic version of the. French reflexive infinitive, M'aidcr, meaning help or assisl.
