Like  Real Dry Season

 Seems the weather has deceided to behave, like a child finally, understanding the lolipop is within reach of discontinued tantrums.

Its sunny today, and bright, and gusty, and dusty, like true true Dry Season i used to know, before climate deceided to change her ways.

Carnival is a season, like Spring, Summer, Autumn or Winter. Complete with its colour schemes, events, actions and music.

Carnival ends with two days of carefree costuming and dancing in the streets in groups called Carnival Bands, giving way to the solemn sacred Ash Wednesday, the start of the Lenten Season.

    A perfect prelude to "solemn sacred Ash Wednesday," as you describe it, Gillena, with the merriment of a child. I love that wonderfully exact simile:
    "like a child finally, understanding the lollipop is within reach of discontinued tantrums."💖

    Nicely done, Gillena, especially ‘like a child finally, understanding the lollipop is within reach of discontinued tantrums’. I also like the internal rhyme ‘gusty/dusty’.
