SUMMER IN PHOENIX

I have a friend who wishes he was in San Diego.

Frankly, I think Arizona is pretty terrific.  Yes, summers are hot.  It’s the desert.  We’ve lived here 12 years and you do not get used to it, you tolerate it.  It’s the same every year, people complain about how hot it is.  It’s this hot every year!  We suffer through several months, because the remainder of the year is wonderful…..

The days are getting shorter.  This means that the desert has more time to cool down.  It’s only the end of July.  We don’t start getting cooler nights until September.  We had a really wonderful June.  I don’t ever recall having to shovel sunshine.  And, if you want to get out of the heat, you only need drive to Show Low or Flagstaff to experience cooler temps….what more could we want?

To that end, I saw an article in the local paper this past weekend that the prices for “summer homes” is amazing in the mountains….great time to buy up there……we did 3 years ago and it is wonderful…..even in the winter!!
