Change In The Wind
There is a change in the wind.
Who feels it?
Here in the Sonoran Desert we’re in full spring. Citrus trees have blossomed and the scent is exquisite.
Sweet and intoxicating to breathe.
The wind is changing now, coming from the north. It still is cool, belying the desperate hot summer that surely will descend. Another spring soon turns to summer.
Feel it now, this, change in the wind.

April has always been a month of extremes of weather in the UK (at least as far as I can remember), and it’s snowing down in Brighton today!
I wouldn’t be surprised if this is Winter’s last hoorah before a bright and sunny spring. I certainly hope so!

Having read every Carlos Castanida book about Don Juan the Yaqui Indian saucerer back about 20+ years ago the Sonoran Desert conjures up some very nice images for me. Wind spirits etc…
Takes me back to a time as a younger man when I would have liked to experience that very place where you stand now, Molly.

Where I am the change in the wind is the first cool touch that lets you know winter is coming. This is my second real autumn - where entire streets turn brown with changing trees. It’s still a novelty and a joy to me (perhaps because I don’t have to rake the leaves).
Where I grew up, autumn was a brief blip before a cool blip before it got hot again. The odd tree would change colour and dump its leaves, but the vast majority of trees just stayed the same all year ’round.
On the flip side, down here there’s very little Jacaranda. I never thought I’d miss it but I realise now it was a fundamental part of Brisbane life, a marker of changing seasons and a reminder of my university years.

As much as I would love to be poetic about the hippie idealism of the Northwest, I don’t think I could do it justice. Instead of cats and dogs; mother nature decided that she should flush her alligators and crocodiles instead. Its been nice, but cold air that freezes your coffee before you have a chance to blow on it sensually (cooling it off in the RIGHT way), it freezes in your Vente Starbucks cup.
Although, the trees are blooming. Summer should be awesome.
