For some reason that I don't understand the sun in California is very high, very white, and bright. It's like that all over the state. The only other place I've seen sun so high and white is in Israel, and maybe in Arizona, but maybe not exactly. Elsewhere in the U.S. the sun is a little lower in the sky, a bit less intense. This is true even in the southern states.
When I awoke this morning I peeked through the leaves of the great, big old tree outside of my bedroom window. I thought I saw a narrow shaft of slightly lower light that had a golden tint to it. I had high hopes, thinking that maybe, maybe the 1st of September had brought in the first touch of fall. But then I looked outside my front windows and nope, no gold at all. Just that blinding, glaring, white sunlight of same hot, hot summer.
My son was born on October 3rd and when I entered the hospital it was hot summer, but when we left on October 8th I clearly remember stepping out into an autumn day. So every year I wait for October 8th, hoping I'll see and feel that autumn bit.
I cancelled my therapy session for today. I shouldn't have, but I didn't have much interest in going. So I'm off to the grocery store, then to spend some time with the book business.
