No pressure to clean the whole house.
One spot is enough.
Wipe one surface. Add one flower. Walk away like a hero.
Japan's microseason: "Chrysanthemums bloom."
Save this for a tired evening.

I love the floral microseason at the end of April & early May, which I call the season of pinks and purples. In the 5 minute round trip between my garden & my allotment, there was my wonderfully named Dicentra spectablilis, bright fuschia. Hidden in corners & the alleys was the violet of violets...

"false spring" is such a cruel and undeserved name for a beautiful microseason... step outside right now and tell me that what you feel is "false"

I’m tempted to suggest a readalong of Light Rains Sometimes Fall through the year, with seasonal posts for each microseason. It might be quite fun. But it also feels like the kind of thing I won’t remember to sustain. Anyway, if you do feel like doing it, use the hashtag #LightRains

The California conkers (buckeyes) are well on their way. We’re in that confusing microseason here when the afternoons are hotter than they’ve been all summer but the nights are cool & dewy, birds gather in great numbers, & all around are signs of autumn.

Would ‘Summer in the Sun, Autumn in the Shade’ be a good microseason, or does it last too long?

If we used microseasons here, today would start the microseason of Starlings Mobbing the Yard. Dozens out there tossing fallen leaves in search of overwintering insects or larvae.
