what is it with transition seasons?

here in the north, our seasonal transition are oftentimes fast and furious. sometimes as short as a week. one day it’s verdant, 80 degrees and warm breezes from the south, an the next week is 65 degrees, winds from the north, and frost threats. that’s how we roll. for someone who loves to capture nature in transition, the speed can bit a bit daunting. but there is something more going on with transition seasons that seems to affect the human animals. i would swear on a stack of bibles, that every winter-to-spring transition, and every summer-to-fall transition (in other words, every equinox), humans collectively decide it is time to GET SHIT DONE. i have dad more print requests, commission requests, and publisher deadlines in the last week than i had in the past three months collectively. okay , everybody, i appreciate the interest. but, really, can’t it wait one more week?
