Autumn

You know I used to love fall the changing of the colors of the leaves. Not the raking of the leaves but the awesome colors. And the smell. No matter what anyone says there is a special smell to fall. The changing of the closets from the summer light to the winter warm. The expectation of the late warm Indian Summer before the cold. ..... That magical time where everything is beautiful and colorful. I know what am I talking about. But this is how I remember fall in the East.
Well someone forgot to tell my Valley of the Sun it was fall. Because this week we averaged around 105 degrees. I mean fall here is supposed to be in the two digits not the three. So if anyone out there has gotten the message please tell my valley as I am ready for the fall breeze and cooler temps. .... And yes it does hit freezing in the desert.
