Autumn’s here

Yesterday was the autumnal equinox. Soon, the weather will be cooling down, and leaves are supposed to be turning colour. Around here though, the weather changes from really really hot to just hot. And leaves don’t turn colour. The live oaks and palm trees stay green, and all the other trees just turn brown and drop their leaves. No brilliant display of colour, no brisk chill in the air. None of what I’m used to. Aside from the weather cooling down enough to make going outside enjoyable again, fall around here is a pretty dull season (hurricane excitement notwithstanding).

I miss having different seasons.
