Even though I didn't go away as long this year, I made the return date just about the same, give or take a few days. 106, 104, though yesterday 107... It's been like this since I returned. September temperatures here... no monsoon though :( Could still could return though... Yeah! September could still be horrible, but maybe not... I wish that we had a small place up north for the weekends.

I think because I like being in my home, the cooler weather of autumn and then winter makes it so much more pleasurable.

Over the years I've come to really love Autumn, probably because Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. Something about Autumn really appeals to me these days; I think it's because it means the year is winding down which seems synonymous with slowing down (even though my life never seems too....).<br /><br />Lovely sunset photos!<br /><br />Melissa<br /><br />Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05885834933978634106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2514949068618443114.post-91906894714003723612017-08-15T10:49:47.359-07:002017-08-15T10:49:47.359-07:00The leaves are already starting to change here, an...The leaves are already starting to change here, and the nights are quite cool.

Bring on the fall and winter I say. When my son in Law was stationed at Fort Huachuca ( twice) I would love to visit and go up into the Huachuca mountains to see petroglyphs and out to bisbee, tombstone and tomblstone quite a bit when they lived in Sierra Vista. I miss visiting these places. I loved it when she took me to an old ghost town (she called it) and we found old glass bottles , many broken and they were so thick. Rocks with leaf impressions and at night looking up into the night sky and feeling like we could pluck a star right from it. Jack rabbits - wow! You live in a beautiul and historical place and love reading about your adventures visiting different areas with you.
