A weird sensation....


First of all, I must confese that I feel pretty strange because of there are some similar events but the cold makes the difference. In Venezuela there are only two seasons, a raining season since June to November and a droughty season between December and May. Venezuela is near of the equator that is the reason why we only have two season there. We do not have the habit of review the weather because you only need to keep in mind your umbrella in the raining season, and drink much water in the summer.
In Venezuela, in the droughty season the most of the trees lose their leaves, and so do they here. This event is produced by the water lacking in the ground, while, the low temperatures present in Iowa City's fall produce the same effect in the trees native of these flatland. At the same way that here, in Venezuela the pasture turns in a browny color as well.
However, there are to big diferences; these alterations are the reasons of my strange feeling. First, the temperature is so fresh, sometimes it is nice, some others it is really cold. When I look at the trees and the forest, i thought that it seens so similar to Venezuela's trees but when I feel the temperature all my sense get confused. The second difference is that the grass is always green and some trees turn in a wondeful red; nevertheless, this does not affect me so much.
The fall in Iowa City is so beautiful by its bright colors, it is nicely cold as well. Thus, some particular color remind me the colors of Venezuela.

Fall is my favorite season in Iowa. I like the cool, fresh air in the mornings--like you. However, if you think it is cold now, wait until January. Then, you will really know cold--and the cold of the fall will seem warm! :)
