There’s a ritual to those long, honeyed days. The clink of bottle against bottle as she set them on porches, the ritualized call — “Fresh milk!” — that floated through sun-warmed air and made windows open. Kids would run barefoot across warm pavement, cheeks flushed, to trade a bent handful of quarters or a sliver of conversation: what they caught in the creek, which bike needed a new tire, whether the lightning bugs were out yet. Adults accepted a careful nod, a momentary exchange of eyes that said: we’re getting through it together.
