Umm, excuse me? Mother Nature? Sorry to bother you. I understand this is a busy time with all the changes that are going on with the climate everywhere. But I hate to point out that you sorta skipped a season.
It's not that important, really. It's just, one day I looked out and there was bright sunshine, calm breeze and all-round pleasantness, then many days of rainstorms, which I adore. But then, as I drove home yesterday I noticed all the leaves were yellow - no green to red to orange then yellow, it was a green to yellow. I must admit my shock. True, I have been holed up in my apartment for the last two weeks studying for mid-terms, but I have occassionally looked out the window, for instance when I sneezed and lost track of where I was in my Contracts book, and even though that moment was brief, I didn't see any signs of fall.
And I will also admit that fall is my favourite time of year, and it's not because my birthday is during this season (though, yes, it is a big factor - coming up in 2 weeks, thanks), but everything seems crisp and ready to change that it's just beautiful.
But this year MN (can I call you that?) we seemed to have skipped from later-summer weather to winter - there was a blizzard of FLURRIES today MN. FLURRIES. And not the rain, wet-snow type flurry. The type of flurry that collects and builds up on the car windows. That, MN, is full-out snow. The type that made me get out my touque. And I rarely get that out.
Is this a Michigan thing? Or, has the US skipped on the season of fall when they decided to change day-light savings? Is it to economize? Is it because it's the most volatile of seasons? I understand the government here doesn't like that.
Whatever the reason MN, I really do love fall and was very sad to not see it come and go. I don't mind the winter all that much. Except for the freezing rain. We have to talk about that. It's not helping anyone really, so why? And I ain't mad at cha - I know mistakes happen - I just wanted you to know how I feel.
Maybe next year?

Rubie: Thank you so much for the kind words but you're being too nice! I really just randomly type this stuff as it comes to me.
Hana: I'm really going to try for it actually. I just wanted to wait this first semester so I'm not too overwheled. Thanks for the suggestion!
