FINALLY… a chill in the air made for the first fire of the season last night.

It got downright cool (for Phoenix): all the way down to 50 degrees!! The chill brought on the renewal of a grand tradition: sitting around the chimenea and talking late into the evening, interspersed with polite arguments about who is going to poke the fire when and how vigorously.

After an unusual warm spell, things are finally starting to cool off. In a month we will all be complaining about how cool it is at night and wishing for a return of warm evenings, forgetting how miserable Arizona can be in the summer!
