Mid-way through the season of Fall and we Southern Californians are in the midst of a heat wave. Fall started out nicely - with the wonderful smell of the season, cool days, cooler nights, some rain. But something went wrong!
My cactus are confused and have started blooming again. The trees tried to change and are now stuck between changing colors and just dropping leaves. The lawn savored the cool, wet weather and now has started to dry up and whither as though it's summer.
The dogs were already getting their winter fur and are now hot and smelly!
I had unpacked and washed blankets and comforters only to be throwing them off when I hit the bed.
Actually have turned on the air conditioner to cool off the bedroom before I go to sleep.
I love San Diego weather. But wish the seasons would stick to the norm.
True, we don't have seasonal changes like other areas. We really only have 3 - Spring, Summer, Fall and a wetter, cooler Fall. I don't mind living where it doesn't snow - I can drive an hour and find some. Some of our trees actually do offer beautiful fall colors. Not as beautiful as the East Coast; we usually are raking ours up before they fully change. But that's why out west we call it 'Fall' and not 'Autumn'.
