Fall!

I don't want to jinx anything, but I think we may have finally turned a seasonal corner in Tucson.  The daily temperatures have finally dropped below 95 degrees!  (Yes, I realize that this is an absurd thing to say in regards to a Summer-to-Fall transition, but seriously, this is a big deal here in the desert.)  We had a lovely few days of thunderstorms and cool breeze earlier this week, and I am supremely looking forward to the increasingly cooler evenings and mornings.

I feel like I got a good dose of Fall this past Sunday.  There was a nice 50-mile bike ride in the morning [Josh only got in 40 miles though, as after his fifth flat tire he was forced to stop riding and wait for me to finish biking home and then come pick him up in the car], and then we visited the apple orchard down in Willcox with Meredith and Angela to pick apples, eat pie, and browse fresh veggies.  We unfortunately we not able to tackle the corn maze due to a big storm, but the thunder, lightning, and rain were really pretty awesome.  And Josh caught some nice photos.

This week, I'm back in New Mexico.  The daytime temps are in the 70s and the nighttime temps are in the 40s.  I am highly enjoying the ability to wear long sleeves and my fleece vest when I leave the hotel in the mornings.
