It's almost over.
You know . . . Summer.
This was a weird year in that we had our
"summer" vacation when most of the world was unpacking their sweaters. We came back from vacation and lo and behold . . . it was clear down in the 90's here in the desert! The mornings had a little chill and occasionally the temperature in the house actually went lower than the A/C setting. I started eyeing the fall decorations in the closet, but was wary of those triple digits rearing their ugly heads once again.
I am thankful that our
summer went out with a glorious bang. I am thankful that our last memories of summer involved children, grandchildren, sun, sand and thousands of calories of restaurant indulgence. I am thankful that even though Arizona boasted record-breaking heat in umpteen different categories, I lived to tell the tale.
Goodbye Summer. Goodbye blister-inducing-steering-wheel. Good-bye baseball games and barbeques and beach bonfires. Good-bye monsoons and sunburns and pool algae. Some will be missed . . . and some will not. All will be remembered.
P.S. Thanks to
PDaddy for the superb pics of a beautiful sunset.
P.P.S For more
Summer to
Fall transition reading (from a Midwest viewpoint) go
here. You won't be sorry.

It takes a pretty amazing picture (and of course, photographer) to make a scene more appealing and beautiful in a photo than it did IN PERSON! Thanks for the gorgeous pics, PDaddy, and thanks Mommie for sending a shout out to our favorite three (or FOUR) months of the year!
