Crisp cotton sheets take the place of the plaid flannel. The dark winter dishes are exchanged for the bright dishes that will last until autumn arrives. Fresh roses create a lovely centerpiece, bringing a touch of the garden indoors. The farm undergoes a transformation inside the house and out. Roses creep up the wall just under my window, basil adds savor to a strawberry shortcake, and baby chick scurry across the grassy carpet of the orchard.
