seasons or lack thereof and local music.
I hear ya, dread. Our seasons consist of a BEAUTIFUL spring, bluebonnets and all, but then in May, the sun bakes it all off to a nuclear wasteland brown and then it's just a holding pattern while we just live in the glare until fall... We have beautiful starlit nights though. Alas, the countryside is NOT so beautiful except those few weeks when March fades to April. We do have some hella good BBQ though! And lots of live music too.
In fact, beaucoup local musicians playing at the Erinshire Folkfest here on Oct. 22 or 23 (can't remember for sure, but can check them online at erinshire.com). Should be fun if any of you are in the area.

I'm getting nostalgic over all the descriptions, fall is my favorite time of year. I really miss the changing seasons -- there's no such thing as a proper autumn out here.

One thing I love about Tasmania is that (like the old country) we have defined seasons, (even if that definition is becoming muddied by global warming- or whatever is the problem)
For us, spring is here, a herald of summer, T shirts and lighter kilts are the order of the day.
Thank the Creator for the seasons, they add life and zest to our mortal experience!
