California Seasons

[athelind]

Easterners like to snark about how the Golden State "doesn't have seasons."

Of course it does. They're just different than East Coast seasons.

We have:

• Air, when the hills are green, the flowers bloom, and the wind is a pleasant, offshore breeze.


• Earth, when the hills have turned brown golden.


• Fire, when the hot devil winds blow from the mountains, and the wildfires bloom.


• Water, when the rains roll in.

The seasons may start earlier or later, and they may be more intense in one year than another, but, by golly, they're there.
