I love summer, with its clear skies and drifting clouds.
I love my city, unhurried and just right.
I love the little touches of marking the calendar.
Grain Full, Grain in Ear, Summer Solstice, Minor Heat.....
The seasons shift instantly, the transitions are magical.
No farming duties, you define your own comings and goings.
How about spending a literary summer in Xianning? What do you think?
All summer long, the sunshine, the air, the waterfalls... they're all yours.
