cuentos en la huerta
Welcome
Welcome to cuentos en la huerta. Sit back, relax and enjoy!.
Being born and raised in Mexico, I got to see lots of American cartoons. To me, all those things on TV and books about the four seasons seemed weird. Yes, we have seasons in Mexico, but the contrast in all of them is not so notorious. Sure, winter is cold, but there is no snow. There are not multicolored leaves during Fall and most of the trees keep their green leaves and as far as I remember, only a few of them lose them all. The way spring is portrayed on TV makes no sense: everything suddenly turning green and full of life and a bunch of birds and squirrels had to be somebody’s trip on a mescaline smoothie.
The point is, now that I live significantly northern, all those things make sense. As I published before, Fall is, in fact, multicolored and snow does exist. Now that according to the calendar is spring, well…
yes, trees get full of flowers, everything turns green and birds chirp and all that stuff. And yes, all of it happens suddenly, like in two weeks. (Also, the trees lose their flowers really fast)

yes, and then you get very bad allergies.
I don’t… so far

Yeah if not allergies, yay!
It’s funny, I had a really similar experience in south Texas… never saw snow really. It felt like there were two seasons, “summer” and “not quite as hot as summer”… maybe “summer” and “fall.”
We did have leaves change in some places around San Antonio — Lost Maples was pretty cool.
Hurray that snow is finally gone!

The people also change !!! They leave their winter zombie behavior, they open their eyes, smile and think that they are immune to sun.
