Being my favorite time of the year, I dream of the changing colors, the cool crisp air, sweater weather and piles and piles of leaves in the yard!

However, having lived only in Southern California, and now Central Arizona, I have never really experienced any of that.  Oh sure, we have some trees that have leaves that change color, and the mornings are getting cooler, the nights too…but I know it just can’t be compared to a fall in Virginia, Connecticut, or Massachusetts!

Although, we are enjoying this Arizona weather!  We are out and about in the Arizona sunshine—80-85 degree weather is fine with me.

In fact, we only need to travel north about an hour and a half to be in Flagstaff and there is an amazing Aspen grove on top of a mountain that we love to camp at.  It gets freezing there at night!  We’re talking 50’s and 60’s!  We may head up Sedona way the day after Thanksgiving and stay the weekend in that beautiful place-Lockett Meadow.  I will post pictures if we do!

ME! :-)

I grew up here and didn't really understand people laments about seasons. Now having lived in WA (which really doesn't have seasons either), VA and 7 years in OH I do understand seasons! The first few years back here I was happy to not have to deal w/ the seasons but this year I'm missing them.

I keep meaning to dig out my old pictures of the kids in the fall in OH, scan them and post them. I can relive the fun of fall w/o the hassle or raking all those pesky leaves! LOL
