On Easter Sunday we hit 90 for the first time, and it appears we may do so again tomorrow. I’ve often mentioned that spring is a short season here in the Valley of the Sun – heck it was only a month ago we were in the ’50s and the pool temperature was 48 degrees. But it’s now up to 68, and Tracey was dangling her legs over the side yesterday afternoon. That’s what a succession of 80+-degree days will do fer ya!

Another sure sign of the season: people are already talking about preparing one’s wheels for the fierce onslaught to come.

For right now, however, this is a beautiful time of year to live in Arizona. But the clock is ticking, and summer will soon be here.
