We get cranky when our tomatoes take a week to redden up. We take it personal when Coastal Eddy brings the June gloom back right on schedule. We deserve nothing less than the perfect clear blue sky of July and August and September. October will bring the Santa Anna's back, hotter this time and dryer and bent upon destruction. And all of Southern California will wait in anticipation for the rains of January to put the fire season to bed.
Winter is a relief when it arrives.
And that makes spring less of an event. There can be no feeling of freedom where there has never been oppression.
