Lately, we have NOT been experiencing the full aspect of our four seasons as spring yielded warmer weather with temperatures in the 90 degree mark and the humidity levels have creeped up in high fashion. Then we fast forward into fall as colder conditions settled in giving us wintertime ahead of schedule. We seem to be deprived of experiencing a normal weather pattern.
