That transitional season

The Golan, like all of Israel, is slowly thawing out of the cold, rainy winter season and coming into the dry, sunny, blistering hot summer months that lie ahead of us. And as is the case every year, it seems this process takes time - even if, at the height of a season, we subconsciously think otherwise.

Some days the temperature goes up, some days it goes down; sometimes clear, sometimes foggy; sometimes sunny, sometimes rainy (as was the case an hour ago).

Nevertheless, this leaves me wondering... am I the only one who wonders what type of clothing to wear in the morning?

I know it doesn't make that much of a difference, as I am in an office building all day, but I wake up and it's cold outside and dress as if I'm venturing out in a New York-style blizzard!

Yesterday, for example, I remember thinking it would be cold and wore long sleeves, only to be hot. And now, I sit here on a cold Golan evening, wearing a sweater over my polo shirt.

Comments anyone?

Yeah, try layers, that's what they tell us to do in Colorado. The joke there is that if you don't like the weather, just wait 20 minutes!

Layers would work... but it's just not me. ;-)
