Easterners like to snark about how the Golden State "doesn't have seasons."
Of course it does. They're just different than East Coast seasons.
We have:
- Air, when the hills are green, the flowers bloom, and the wind is a pleasant, offshore breeze.
- Earth, when the hills have turned brown golden.
- Fire, when the hot devil winds blow from the mountains, and the wildfires bloom.
- Water, when the rains roll in.
The seasons may start earlier or later, and they may be more intense in one year than another, but, by golly, they're there.
