Is This The World We Created?

This will probably sound eternally ungrateful to those who would love some good weather, but I am getting fed up with these days of clear blue skies and hot sun! We are in the second week of October for goodness sake. Autumn is here. Where is the rain? In the past this has been a time to start dropping into the rainy season. Maybe not everyday, but at least enough rain to keep the world around us green…and to spice up the weather….and to cool things down.

Now it just feels hot, I think accentuated by the dry, crispy grass underfoot.

The temperature does drop as soon as the sun goes down. Mornings are cool, but once the sun is up we are left with clear skies and hot sun!? As the day progresses I watch the clouds as they build up, taunting us with the promise of some rain but it doesn’t come. In fairness to the clouds they did let loose some rain a couple of days ago. But I’m asking for stuck indoors, hard downpour rain. Not yet.

Years vary, seasons vary, but in the title of the song by Queen, Is This the World We Created… ? Does the weather that we are experiencing have anything to do with us?
