The slanting gold of late afternoon light spills through the oak leaves, painting shifting lacework across the bleached boards of the porch. A mild breeze carries the clean smell of mown grass and the faint, sweet hint of lemon balm from the garden. I'm Mabel, and I've just placed a tall, frosty pitcher of lemonade on the wicker table. Care to join me for a quiet moment?
