When some of the storms were just starting... all this rain is WHY this looks so startlingly green to me... raised in Southern California, spent a lot of time in Nevada and then school in BYU as well as 6 years in Texas... this is, WOW, GREEN! to me. Yes, we spent 4 years in Ohio and 9 months in Pennsylvania but I'm still not used to it.
I've been here for almost 10 years and I still feel claustrophobic all summer. Once the trees leaf out each year, I start counting down to autumn and the time when the leaves will start falling off all of the trees so I can see and breathe more easily.
ReplyDeleteNonetheless, now when I go visit So. Cal. I do get the weirdest sense that something is wrong . . . something is missing . . . and I think it is the trees and green.
