Summer in Germany is just stress...

Und warum ist das Trench?
Germany is beautiful, especially in summer.
Indian Summer is like a woman. Ripe, hotly passionate, but fickle, she comes and goes as she pleases
so that one is never sure whether she will come at all, nor how long she will stay.

Jeez. Just moved to a new climate. Will certainly miss Autumn. The tropics are great, but will miss that sudden nip as the weather turns. Recently had weird experience. We were having dinner with people we have had a long time familial connection to. We mentioned how we had just moved to Hawaii from Central Europe. One of our dinner guests totally “went off” on how horrible Germans are. I was totally flummoxed. Basically I responded that I had been living in a Germanic culture for the past 18 years and found my friends and neighbors to have been quite wonderful. To say I was astonished is an understatement. A few days later the lady called me and apologized. I’m still saddened by the whole exchange. Ah, human prejudices.
I’ll keep an eye out for that book, thanks for the tip. Someone told me pumpkin spice lattes are now available at Starbucks. That is as autumnal as it gets in Hawaii.
No shame in living without snow. I enjoy every warm winter.
I can’t imagine life without autumn!
… And I wish you well on this very special day of the year.It's Yom Kippur today.
