It is 10 or 20 degrees more than it should be outside and if it were the middle of spring it would feel pleasant, yet now the low angle of sunlight combined with the mild atmosphere and calm winds produces an ongoing sense of unease. I put ground pork on the stove and used the one tomato I had left to make a sauté with a lot of garlic and a few tablespoons of cider vinegar, throwing in some mint for flavor. It felt like something was missing.
