Southern exposure

It's cold here in Georgia this week, a reminder that winter isn't finished with us yet.

Soon spring with its unsettled storms will lay claim to our days and the heat of summer will thicken our night air, giving us no respite for months. Autumn comes far too late and departs all too quickly.

And winter hangs around, extending its chilly hand to us each year and we slap it away like a leper. Then come August we long for even the slightest hint of anything to release us from the sweltering.

It's actually unseasonably warm here in the Bay Area. The season for these types of days is nearer September and October. I really like the cold myself but the warm sunny days are nice to have, nonetheless.

I'm ready for summer, if only because I like the lengthy days. When the sun doesn't really set until around 9 p.m., that's sweet.
