Thought experiment:
With all the changing climactic norms in our overheating world, imagine that you get to rename (and if necessary renumber) all the seasons in your neck of the woods.
How many seasons does your region now have, and what rad/terrifying names do you have for any new ones?
(In Medellín it's kind of a cop-out: We have spring and "winter", a ridiculous lie of a word used to describe the autumnal months when there's more rain. Other rainy periods vary year by year.)
@MLClark I am not creative with names but I can tell you I sure miss spring and autumn here. Those seasons are getting shorter every year and they are/were my favorite. 🍃 🍂
Autumn used to be a whole vibe, eh? In Canada, there's the first major harvest in September (apples!), then another in October (gourds!), and then the transition into nippy November root vegetables (parsnips, turnips!). Such a wealth - which so far still seems more or less stable. But on the spring side? Oof. After false thaws earlier in the year disrupting planting, there's this huge uptick in heat - from frigid in April to roasting in May.
Hope you enjoy what fall may come!
Ooooo! Lovely info to know. 😊 And how do you usually relax in the good weather? Cigar too? Or another treat? Or just reclining in the good air and taking in the vibes?
@MLClark I am always out there with my kindle and mobile games on my phone. I do not smoke cigars but will sometimes have an adult beverage. I always have an iced tea or seltzer out there too. Mostly I enjoy the fresh air ☀️
That is a lovely and restful routine. :) I'm glad self-care is woven into your lives. I hope the weather always favours it!
@MLClark When you see Elaine on the porch with her cigar - I am always on the other side of the table so you will know when it's nice out here 😎
