Flutterby™! : rainy days

The rain has come, preceded by a week or two of gloomy weather. Fall is definitively here. There's an annoying roughly 60Hz hum resonating... at first I thought through parts of the house, but as I went through trying to identify sources I eventually figured out it was coming from elsewhere, so I took a walk around the block. The source is a large hopper truck down at a construction site just west of the store across Sir Francis Drake, I assume there's some sort of internal cement mixing going on, but it sure is annoying.

Spring in California is wonderful, with the wildflowers across the hills. Summer is growing on me, and the notion that we can predict the weather months in advance has its pluses. But the gloomy grey of fall is making me yearn for other climes. Jerry Halstead has a picture of fall in the northeast that reminded me of childhood, of large piles of bright colors, of hillsides of glorious reds and oranges.

Looking out across the little canyon we inhabit to the houses across the other side, we have green. Not a bad thing, but even green gets monotonous after a time.
