I’m in Maryland, and it’s summer.
Along the highway, the trees are so lush they’re hanging close to the road. The sky is pure blue and the temperature a pleasant seventy-five degrees (I imagine if the state was personified, Maryland would have its hands on its hips like “That’s all you get!”). I was in Hagerstown, Maryland for a few weeks last spring and it’s all coming back, how much I like this place.
