As many of you know I am from Phoenix, AZ and spend most of my time in the city. However, in the summer I spend a lot of time in the mountains in Colorado.

Lately I’ve really been taking in the green scenery, and enjoying the cool weather.

At home in Phoenix it has been in the 100’s, but here in Colorado it has been in the 70’s and 80’s in the day, and in the 50’s at night.

I’ve always said that when I come to Colorado for the summer, I feel like I’m getting another fall/winter (sometimes, it did snow on me this May). For some reason however, I feel like I just don’t enjoy it as much as I do a Phoenix fall day. I’m going to attribute this to the idea that in Phoenix the fall weather can be a savior to us that have been living in the hot, hot heat, and also because in true fall I always feel like I’m in a nostalgic state of mine, as do other people that I’m usually surrounded by.

In truth, nothing beats a cool fall Phoenix.

What has the weather been like in your area recently? Has it been overwhelmingly hot, or are you getting another shot at fall as well?
