Under cover

Under cover

No luck with the sun yet. A little bit yesterday, but the clouds are still hanging around. There's been no rain though, which is an improvement.

It's also started getting cold. You know, that kind of dry, kind of wet cold that lets you know that the year is coming to a close and the holidays are drawing near.

You ever notice there's a smell to it too? It's like that smell when it rains, only much less intense, and mixed in with the dry smell of the cold air. It's one of those smells you can't really place your finger on, but you know it when you get there. The end of autumn, that's what it smells like.

We don't really have autumn or spring here. We just go from no rain, to more rain, to less rain. But you still get that cold and that end of autumn smell nevertheless.

Sometimes I miss the four seasons. And everything that came with them.

Don't get stuck on the past, and don't worry too much about the future. And if you succeed in doing that, let me know how it's done.

  1. El clima nos ha dado un pequeño respiro en estos días, como dices, para recordar que vienen mejores tiempos y que el final de año esta cerca. Ojala la lluvia se aleje y estos cambios sean señales de esperanza para las vidas afectadas.

    Y sobre no quedarse en el pasado, concuerdo contigo completamente. No se puede mirar el futuro con la nuca, tenemos que encarar nuestro destino sin miedos ni remordimientos.

    Saludos bro!
