My husband, Peter, doesn’t believe me, but I didn’t always dress up. I would dress up for the holidays and for a special occasion, but the definition of “special” was fairly strict. It involved wearing nice shoes perhaps half a dozen times a year. But I changed professions and identities a couple of times and, somewhere in there, I discovered that I could wear a lot of clothes I never imagined I could wear. And then I met Peter. This is the part Peter disputes.

by Carrie Classon My space is smaller than usual these days. When my husband, Peter, and I bought a condo and moved to the city, Peter said we needed a little more room. “I want two bathrooms!” Peter said. I’d never had two bathrooms in my home as an adult, but I was certainly fine with the idea in principle.

Summer arrived suddenly. It was as if spring got shortchanged and we leapt from late winter into summer with nothing in between. I watched the gardeners wake with a start and begin tearing up their lawns and gardens with a fury, as if they had overslept and had to make up for lost time. I do not garden. I spent most of my adult life trying to convince myself that I liked gardening and I was just not doing it right. Gardening was never a satisfying pastime.
