Seasonal Changes and Personal Adaptations


No matter what part of this planet you inhabit, changes in season must be an annual feature. It is more dramatic in certain parts of the world, and less dramatic in others. If you live in the tropical and sub-tropical zones, seasonal variations may be limited to dry and wet seasons, with the accompanying temperature changes, which are far from being drastic. I never had a real preference for either when I lived there. It would rain cags and dogs at certain times, and it is very dry and dusty at the other end of the spectrum.

Changes in seasons are much more dramatic in the temperate regions where I now reside. Spring, summer, fall and winter are just so distinct and you can really feel it. My favorite is spring.... I love plants and gardening. Summer is too warm for my liking, but not to be compared with fall. Why do I not like fall so much? Well, that is when the plants start to lose their leaves, and fall heralds the coming of winter :(   Old man winter, when the days and short and the nights are long

My adaptations to winter? Well, what do you do when it is cold....... ? Just chill :). It is a lot easier to work at academic stuff in winter, so I just immerse myself in work. Hopefully, the kids show up for the holidays.
