Unseasonal, 16 October 2011


Snapshot_028


Curuoskar, I think, doesn't have too much seasonal variation - certainly not anywhere near as much as Agni does.  It was something I had to get used to when I emigrated.  It gets cold in the Fall!  (There's a concept of 'Fall!')  And snow doesn't just happen up in the mountains or near the poles.  It happens pretty much everywhere that there aren't palm trees, if you let the calendar get to that end of the year.  But I've lived here for a while now, and am starting to get used to the slide of temperatures down in the later months of the year.


The East River does get some snow through the Winter months-- my trees were fairly blanketed with it last winter and it was a glorious time of snowball fights and hot chocolate and fires-- but in general we're fairly temperate enough that the most it gets is chilly and a little blustery and rainy.  Certainly the palms seem none the worse for wear around then.


Every year it seems, as temperatures fall, there's a brief period of time when things warm back up for a day or two despite the downward trend.  A day when you just know, in your bones, that it'll probably not be this warm again until Springtime; a day of unseasonable warmth in which you know that, even though most likely you'll be diving back into snuggly warm pajamas by nightfall, in the midday it's warm enough to wear the fabulous dress you'd originally been thinking would have to wait until after Winter.  Today was that day, for me.

Things the cat does when nobody is looking...


Waiting for my next delivery of GRP.  I've never had to order it in such quantity before.
