It's been cool enough to sleep with a fan in the window the past week and we are enjoying the Phoenix Fall weather. I have to clarify Phoenix Fall because it's not like the usual crisp wind, fire smoke smell in the air or sweater-wearing-ish Fall we're used to. Still, there is a change for the cooler in the air and it is refreshing! Today we woke up to rain pouring onto the street and roof, tumbling down the street on both sides. So we opened up the doors and let the refreshing, clean air come wisping through the house. The air conditioner is still set at 78 and has not come on yet. And Charles has been doing yard chores most of the afternoon. We have no leaves to rake. Mesquite and ficus trees don't loose their leaves all at once and you barely notice they are changing. But bushes need trimming, windows need calking, and it's nice to just be out there today in the 77 degree, windy weather. Here are some pictures from a few days ago. Maggie and her cousin made salt dough leaf shapes to make refrigerator magnets and my mom and sister made my gingersnap recipe.
