It's almost the middle of November, right? It just does not feel right. It feels like I attended a commencement ceremony in a wedding dress. See, if you are in Virginia, the fall color is now at its' peak. You enjoy yellow, orange, red and brown of turning leaves while you drive, walk or even clean your yard. You are simply embraced by the mother nature's blessings and start thinking about Thanksgiving and Christmas. Well, here in Southern California, you do not see even a tiniest change in the scenery around you. I still have the same flowers blooming in my back yard, as those I found when we moved into this house in August, like..
これも、this,
これも、and this,
これも、and this,
このオレンジの実も、these oranges,
そしてこれも、８月にこの家に来たときにも咲いていて、いままでずっ~と咲いている。これからもず～っと咲いているのかなあ。どうやら、ここトーランスはロサンゼルス郡の中でも、１年を通して温度の変化の少ないとこらしい。このあたりの気温は、夏で最高が79度F(26度C)/最低が60度F（16度C)、
11月の今で最高が71度F(22度C)/最低が50度F（10度C)。
同じロサンゼルス郡の中でも、北東の端になると、
夏で最高が96度F(36度C)/最低が66度F（19度C)、
11月の今で最高が65度F(18度C)/最低が42度F（6度C)。
ここトーランスを含むサウスベイと呼ばれるあたりは、夏は涼しく冬はマイルドであるわけで、過ごしやすいと言えばそのとおり。でも一年中同じ花が咲いているのはいやだ～！
私が今一番見たいもの、そ・れ・は・・・
and this. They were in full bloom back in Summer and are in full bloom now in November. Are they stay in full bloom forever??? It seems like this part of the Los Angeles county has the mildest climate with the minimal change in temperatures throughout the year.
Here in Torrance,
Summer high is 79 degrees F/low is 60 degrees F and
November high is 71 degrees F and low is 50 degrees F,
while in the Northeastern part of the county,
Summer high is 96 degrees F/low is 66 degrees F and
November high is 65 degrees F and low is 42 degrees F.
In this area called South Bay, including Torrance, it is cooler in Summer and milder in Winter. It is a nice place to live climate-wise, but it just does not feel right to see same flowers all through the year! What I miss the most right now is...
これです。バージニアに帰りたいよう。
this! Oh, how I miss Virginia!
this! Oh, how I miss Virginia!
