Comment:

It's not quite summer yet, but, to set the scene for this mix: I'm studying abroad for a year and, compared to the wind-battered, freezing town on the east coast of Scotland which I'm used to, it feels like the height of summer here already! That does mean, however, that it's not very conducive to study...but it's a beautiful time of year anyway, so here's a vitamin D-enriched salute to light breezes, sun, Rhineland cherry blossom trees and generally feeling guilty about procrastination. The title's from Huckleberry Finn, as is the illustration.
