Mar on Nostr: I didn't open this account to post so much about nature being out of whack but these ...
I didn't open this account to post so much about nature being out of whack but these changes in weather are making me feel out of sorts.
I'm close to Seattle, it's mid October, and we're having 73 F(23 C) weather. It feels like a mini heat-wave to me.
I got a bit of a sunburn because I couldn't get myself to put on my Summer hat on an Autumn day. And I forgot about sunscreen until later in the day. Okay, those are due to the way my brain works, but still. It is unsettling.
And the combination of the heat plus the sun being low in the horizon makes me scared. Other moms at school were raving about the "good weather" but for me it all feels "wrong" at a gut level.
The light takes on a special hue this time of the year, I think due to how low the sun is in the horizon. I think my brain is subconciously calculating ... if we're this hot with this light, how hot will we be when get the bright summer light? (sun much higher in the horizon)
Plus, a part of me is sad I cannot wear my fall orange trench coat in October because it's too hot (usually I have the opposite problem). But this is just vanity.
