from the publisher Summertime, and the living is easy. Now is the time we can better appreciate the outside of our homes. From the patio, we see into our green areas and rekindle our love of gardening, birdwatching, and a host of other seasonal hobbies. There are still times you’ll want to beat the heat, and what better way to do that than by ensuring your indoor spaces are refuges that maintain a link to the world outside. Spring cleaning might be a great opportunity to change things up so you can better interact with outside areas of interest. You might also want to consider fan placement with windows to get the best breeze. Even though not every day in the summer will be a winner, there’s a lot we can get out of the scorchers. Hopefully the articles in this issue inspire you to make your home both a haven from the heat and a jump off point to enjoy a day in the sun.
