Hot, humid, muggy days; the stifling heat of summer. I miss it only as much as I miss the chilly winter winds, and the nippy, biting, frosty air that settled in my lungs. The changing seasons that used to be dramatic are much subtler now. The leaves still change color in autumn as always; The world still bursts into bloom in spring as always; But the seasons that used to bring the most uncomfortable weather of the year are now gentle combinations of the seasons they fall between. Winter now brings the brilliant colors of autumn through the gently falling flakes of snow that transcend into spring. Summer now couples the late blooms of Spring with the rose, fruits, and rainbows that carry through to autumn. No more heat waves. No more blizzards. Just a gentle dome of comfort all throughout the year. |
