A new month, a new mindset, if you let it be so. The story of winter and the offseason has come to a close, and a new one begins — of first swims, warm sunsets and fresh asparagus on the horizon. Take a walk through the woods, the towns, the beaches, the backyards. The Island feels expectant, ready to burst forth. But there is still time to savor the moment while also making plans. Breathe in, sit back and press the pause button, just one more time.
