AUTUMN
Just like that.
It happens every year.
One day and there is a precipitous drop in the night temperature, the air gets breezier and we enter one of the best times of the year in the desert.
Last night we were at 78F. It felt like the 50s this morning. I had to look to make sure that it was just 78 but it is the feel that counts.
Dry, cool air coming down off the mountains.
And, all day, just wonderful.
I went to the pool for my daily sun and dip and I only dipped twice. Not three times.
And get this.
WE ATE OUTSIDE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN OUR NEW HOME!
Out on the back patio.
You can see the mountains. They are a bit misty with shafts of light.
Gorgeous.
It is 95 but, in the shade, it is very comfortable.
It will be like this until November and the mystery is that all the snowbirds will wait until November to come back here.
Of course, some of this is because of administrative things.
Canadians have to be in Canada 6 months or lose their medical benefits.
US citizens of other states stay out of California for over 6 months to avoid paying the income tax.
But whatever the reason, they are missing the best weather.
