Who would have thunk it?

It would start with a hint of green. Everywhere. Little buds on the trees, new grass sprouting from the thawing ground. Lilie's popping up everywhere even surviving through the last snow. The whole earth just seemed to come alive. 

All day thunderstorms, rain pitter pattering on the roof, hearing the thunder in the distance. One one thousand, two one thousand. Everything just smelled so fresh.

Toes squishing in warm mud puddles, rain drops on my tongue. Oh how I loved Spring!
Laying in the back yard, smelling fresh cut grass. The hot summer sun beating down on my face. Climbing the apple and cherry trees and eating the fruit till your tummy ached. 

Sitting on the porch at night watching the gazillion stars and listening to the crickets and frogs. Ice cold lemonade, digging around in the flower bed, long bike rides. Summer was so much fun!
Watching the leaves turn colors, raking them into piles, jumping in only to have to rake them again. Oh how I miss the smell of autumn leaves! Carving pumpkins, hayrides, pulling out the sweaters. Fall was my favorite time of year!

Dropping temperatures, snowstorms and staying home from school. Sled riding, building snowmen, hot dogs over an open fire. Big big snowflakes falling gently on my face. Eating icicles that hung from the eaves. Snow angels, runny noses and frost bit toes. Winter was a wintry blast!

I do miss the four seasons.

Here we have four seasons: cold/sunny, cold/rainy, cold/foggy, cold/cold.

California. Who would have thunk it?
