I’m headed to the East Coast for a week before my sister’s wedding, and I’m excited to step into fall somewhere other than the desert.
Things are looking good here, though. After some record rain, we in central and southern Arizona have emerged from hot temps into some deliciously cool weather, while the northern part of the state is getting a little crispier.
