Weather or not?!? (6/4)

Just in case anyone was in doubt. Autumn is here. The air is crisp and sometimes nippy. I thought I should take a picture of the lovely fall colors. It would seem just like a regular fall day in Ohio, except everyone around us speaks Spanish. With school ending in the States and reports of 90˚ weather, it felt so weird to try to rationalize the differences in climate. I guess if one moves to the southern hemisphere one is just inviting this sort of disequilibrium. When Deb and I woke up this morning (I was intending on running), we could hear the gentle slapping of rain on the balcony just off our bedroom. Everything was wet -- a rare change. Stepping out onto the balcony to admire the rain, I noticed that our usual mountainous vista had traded brown for white. I should have taken the picture early this morning before some of the snow melted and the smog was much less. But I waited untli this afternoon. So it is, whether we are confused or not, Autumn is here. By the looks of things, it won't be long until it's Winter.
