Rising from the dead

I always think of Astreiant's Ghost-tide happening in November, because it sounds Novembery-- cold, grey, possible snow falling. But in RL, the time when time becomes thin and other times seep through is now. Well, and late August/ early September. The turning seasons, winter into spring, summer into autumn.

(I was wondering why there's no similar season-turn feel for spring to summer or autumn to winter. I think it's because summer and winter are undeniable phenomena. You can tell when they're ending. In August the air gets drier, the (early and sick) leaves start falling, things are distinctly different. Equally, in March the sun gets stronger, snow if it falls doesn't linger, winter is definitely broken. But spring to summer is unpindownable, and happens in different months in different years. Sometimes indeed summer starts in April. Ditto fall, though my feeling is it's all over when the leaves are gone. Doesn't stop fall weather from occasionally hanging in to mid-December.) (In Japan, of course, you know when spring has become summer, but that's because it's the rainy season that ends, not spring per se. One day cloudy grey highs of 18, next day sunny bright highs of 30. Disconcerting is not the word for it.)
