Here in Northern California the rainy season is finally over. This means that for the next few months we are unlikely to see any rain, and very few cloudy days. For someone who has lived most of her life in New England, this is a gift. In New England, winter of course means many months of dreary, cloudy days, but summer is not much better in terms of the amount of sunshine. Summer there means more heat, not necessarily more sun. Not only do we see more of the sun here in California, but it’s unbelievably strong compared to the Northeast, even during the winter.
I’ve always been a sun worshiper. I’m not interested in getting a tan; I just love being in the sun. It always amazed me that other people weren’t dying to be outside every single second of a sunny day. Granted, I’m a little more blasé about it out here since I know that each sunny day is likely to be followed by another one, but I did panic this morning when the fog rolled in and obscured the sun for a couple of hours.
