Getting Shorter
| What, pray tell, am I referring to as getting shorter? It's not the days, they are still increasing in length, up to 12h 19m now. It's not me, at least not yet. So what then is getting shorter? And, why am I happy about it? The seasonal rifts that occur in the vicinity of 46°25'N latitude are getting shorter. When I say "seasonal rift" I'm talking about the fluctuations between seasons, in this case the fluctuations between spring and fall. In late winter, we have an average of winter weather and temperatures with very short periods of spring-like periods, lasting a day or maybe even a week before winter returns. But, eventually we start seeing longer periods of spring weather and temperatures with a day to a week off winter mixed in. We have passed the meridian of winter-spring rifts o that now we see spring like weather the majority of the time with a day or possibly two of winter. After almost a week of spring, winter returned through the rift with cold weather for a day, then yesterday the rift closed and spring returned. Today the rift reopened with temperatures below freezing and snow, up to an three inches possible by tomorrow. But the rift will close tomorrow and spring will return for the next week. Yes, the seasonal rift is weakening and soon it will be spring. |

About The Author
My writing doesn't follow any set genre, it's interdependent of my mood and all that's taking place in life. I'm still finding myself, what I write constitutes the markers along the path of that journey. With time, many things will manifest in my work and perhaps I will pursue one or two genres. For now, it's not, "What type of writing is my passion?"
"Writing is my passion."
