Review: Summer= almost over, hot, short, long.
But, like I said, I'm pretty sure it's about over. This is how I know:
the husband has been tuning up the bikes
when I open my house door leading into my garage before I lock up for the night to be sure there are no bad guys hiding out in there, I am not offended by a fiery furnace-like blast of hot as hades air
the children are requesting hot chocolate as a beverage to go along with dinner
we rode bikes and went to the park all in one day because it was cool enough to be outside for an extended period of time
people live in my neighborhood- I have seen them outside
my desire to clean my house has returned
the husband and I spend the dusky hours on the back lawn with the children
when I turn on the water to cold, I can actually feel water that is a little bit cool
morning walks are pleasant (actually they have always been pleasant as far as the company, but not so pleasant as far as the temperature)
the husband and I both are feeling the hiking bug coming on
fairies are looking for a little garden space to call their own
I'm ready to welcome fall with open arms. The next 6 months are going to be awesome. You should come visit.

We're actually going to be in AZ next week for my sister's sealing. We are somewhat looking forward to a little "summer" again while we're there, though I have to admit I love cooler weather. Wish we'd have time to visit, but it's a whirlwind trip. I'll think of you, though! Need anything from up here? We could arrange a secret drop off spot and make a clandestine exchange!
This is the time of year that I REALLY miss about Phoenix. The weather is perfect and you get almost a "senioritis" feeling about going outside. And, all the people start being nice again-no more grouchy people due to super hot weather. Enjoy your outdoors time and have a turn at the park for me!!
I have only been in Arizona in March and October. Lovely both times. And still warm enough to visit the pool! (After all, I had just left snow on the ground, and the threat of snow on the ground. It was wonderful...)
:~D
we just got 6 inches of snow. It was so wet and heavy - the power was on and off for 24 hours. Would love to feel some of your heat! I had fun catching up on your blog...
I love fall too. I hate winter, though. Hate it.
Same with summer. I think the perfect climate would be a constant 70 degrees.
But I'm a wimp who hates to mow the lawn and hates shoveling snow just as much.
You are such a trooper..I could not tolerate the high temperatures! There isn't a fall season long enough!
My fall doesn't sound like yours. Can we switch? My fall is already down in the low 50s for the daily high and I'm freezing my butt off. I would love to come visit:)
It is funny how opposite our weather is. While you are getting ready to go outdoors, we are beginning our hibernation. Hope you enjoy your outdoors. I will miss it!
Why thank you, I will!
