It is days like today with clouds and rain darkening the sky that I feel homesick. Although the clouds/rain in the UK are much darker it is still a reminder. After all of the years I have been in Southern California I still miss the seasons; Autumn with all of the leaves turning from a light gold to a deep burning red. Winter with the excitement (for Southern England) waking up especially on Christmas morning with a fresh white blanket of snow however it was not fun when the snow turned to slush then freeze making walking a "sliding" battle. Oh but then Spring with the trees sprouting their beautiful green leaves. What a lovely sight to walk through the woods and see primroses and bluebells popping their heads. Gardens with the crocuses and dafodils to name just a few spring flowers.
Well, I will go back to my happy memories for one more day as tomorrow the sun will beat down on us again although not as hot as the "summer" sun but it will still be "summer" to me.
