Apple Cinnamon CandleLiving in perpetual summer, you don't always remember that the seasons are changing back home. This was emphasized for me as my Mom sent me pictures of the trees changing colors and then informing me during our last Skype conversation that it was actually snowing in Seward! We are in the midst of our rainy season right now. There are two rainy seasons here, one has occasional showers and the other has the heavy rains. We are experiencing the latter. Usually this means the day starts out with sunshine but clouds roll in during the afternoon, although some days the sun shines all day. Today, we woke up and it was cloudy and rainy and it happened to stay that way the whole day. Shauen, being the Seattle boy that he is, was ecstatic! We happened to find an apple-cinnamon candle during our shopping trip, so that evening, with the wind and drizzle outside, we lit our candle and declared it fall for at least today!  -Krista
