is usually abundant during the winter season, although much of California has experienced drought conditions the past three years. However, the northern part of the state, especially those areas north of the Golden Gate, have received a respectable amount of moisture this winter. Beginning with October of last year and measuring rainfall through February 2015, Keenan Winery has been blessed with approximately thirty inches of the wet stuff. And with the season not quite over, we're looking…
winter, and in the summer it is around 83 degrees Fahrenheit. Usually, when you have warm weather, humidity is present. In Mexico, the humidity can range from 18%-87%, depending on the season. Even though the warm temperatures are a good way to get away from the colder weather up north, it also has a lot of sun. Mexico’s weather is perfect for basking in the sun and getting a tan. Even though, Mexico gets a lot of rain, most of it is light rain. It does rain more in the summer, but usually…
Most people wrongly assume summer to be the most popular of the four seasons, but it is really fall that the American population look forward to most, according to Simon Nygeuen’s poll that asked 8,000 Americans which season they loved the most, in which over half of the votes went to autumn. And who can blame them? With bewitching scenery, tranquil weather, and an assortment of fall-related festivities around every corner, what’s not to love about autumn? The fall equinox officially begins in…
there. About a year later my grandparents moved in our vacation home and bought a new trailer because the first house was very old. In the summer of 2012 I stayed the whole summer in Texas with my grandparents and we went to the Gulf of Mexico and Louisiana. In Louisiana we went to an alligator park and I got to zipline over the whole thing. 2013 I stayed all summer and we went back to the Gulf but we also…
Volleyball Season Summer tryouts were on an extremely hot and balmy August day. Many people did not enjoy these long dragged on tryouts, but I was really excited for my first year of high school volleyball as a freshman. Throughout the summer I spent hours upon hours working on volleyball. I went into tryouts not expecting to be put on a higher team. Little did I know what was in store for me this season. As I walked into my first tryout ever, I did not know many of the older girls there. I…

what my best times were. I spent the summer before junior year swimming for a local club team, a first for me but old news for every other competitive swimmer. The practices were at 6:30 in the morning. The pool was half an hour away. It required serious determination to get up every calm summer morning to spend two hours staring at the bottom of a pool. It worked though. For the first time I began the season in shape and spent the season dropping time instead of getting in shape. I swam best…
toddler years were T-ball, skiing and going to park with my best friend Carson.

My family is and has always been a big ski family as we go to our ski chalet at beaver valley ski club every weekend of the ski season and spend every Christmas there. Beaver valley is where I…

When we have marching band season, we sit in the bleachers at football games, cheering for our teams and singing songs with my friends. These are one of the many fond memories I have about the season. Fall is the best because of marching band, weather that is just right, and gorgeous leaves falling on the ground. Of the three reasons I love fall, marching band season is my favorite. There is something about sitting in the cold air in a pair of marching band overalls, a coat you can’t unzip, and…
