As you know, out here on ...Such a lovely post, Nan. As you know, out here on the Left coast (grin) we're in the midst of a serious drought. California generally only has two seasons: summer and not-summer. Summer is hot and dry; not-summer is cool (not cold) and wet. With the drought, though, we've only had summer. The leaves do change with the seasons, but ultra slowly. And spring actually brings all the bright flowers out, which is nice. But weather-wise it's been pretty dull.<br /><br />I've lived in parts of the world where there are actual seasons and I loved it. I always had something to look forward to. If it was winter and I got tired of the cold and rain and snow, I knew that it would give way to spring in just a couple of months. If I got tired of summer's heat, I knew it wouldn't last forever.<br /><br />Here, it lasts forever, and I have to admit that for me, it's become distressing. And of course, everyone is really concerned about the drought.<br /><br />Well! Thanks for the opportunity to gripe a bit--and sorry about that, too. I so enjoyed reading your post about the seasons and the joy they give you, even though winter has become a bit scary, too. I absolutely understand that.<br /><br />As always, wishing you the best, Nan. It's always a joy to hear from you.
