Summer

Summer with the biggest probability has already ended, at least here in the north hemisphere. Even if so called “beldam summer or St. Martin's summer or St. Luke's summer” has come, nevertheless the long and slow rains and cold had come. It is this one what is getting behind your nails, just autumn and its sleet. In spite of that, our so called “frog ladies” promise us more “beldam summer”. Maybe.

Footnote 1: “Frog ladies” is some familiar name of the nice ladies that make the weather forecast on TV. It is linked with some species of frog – tree frog, in Latin Hyla arborea. Historically, it is famous as some barometer, because it reacts to the change of pressure, which varies usually before rain. This frog begins croaks after that.

Footnote 2: “Beldam summer or St. Martin's summer or St. Luke's summer” (or ecological year period called as late summer) is name of long-term dry, sunny, warm and not so much windy weather at the end of summer or at the beginning of autumn. This phenomenon arises at the European continent. During this period, one can often observe free floating webs of the small spiders. In past, these webs suggested gray “beldam” hairs to people. The name of this period originate from thence.

Unlike our world, the weather plays no role in Second Life. The weather is given by the builders of the given sim. In our power there is only to change daytime, respectively to change the sky and water as possible as can be do it to our own idea.

It is only about it to find a suitable sim, where some party takes place, for example by the pool. An then to sink into cool water, take a beautiful woman in the arms and only to have a rest and to enjoy. Other people are coming and leaving, party is in full swing and a pleasure music is playing.

Sun is overcoming the highest point of its orbit and the it is slowly bending down to sunset. Soft see wind is bringing a relief after the hot day. Gradually all people are disappearing. Only I am staying and listening the singing of wind and far see. Sun is drawing to the end of its daily orbit and it is undergoing subsidence into the see as a great light cataclysm.

Summer never ends.
