    Oh what beautiful weather!

    They exclaim during any bout of sunshine. I look back either through the itchy eyes (with plugged sinuses) of hay fever or the slightly less discomforting antihistamine haze.

    Beautiful weather? Yeah, right.

    Give me the bracing mornings and reflective changes of autumn. Or consider the soothing rains of winter and spring, refreshing the land.
