Jeane

Jeane is here! Well technically it isn't her. It is her more benign self. She is now the one who encourages romance among the young and teases you with whispering drops. That is why Virginians seem so upbeat. All storms lash out their fury down south and when they make their way up here, they become like their names would originally suggest. It is a cliched liking - the smell of mud just before it begins to rain. Mann vaasanai.
The heat of the cracked earth mingles with the pregnant moisture in the winds. It is a fragrance that one cannot describe in mere words. Unfortunately, it is something that I am yet to experience in the USA. Even rain seems commercialized here. Maybe you need to pay to be able to enjoy these special flavors ? :) So long..or may be not too long before we get visited by another enigmatic lady
