Toree on The Urban Farm School wrote a great article 10 Things We Love about Autumn and I thought I would add a very Arizona-centric reasons of mine:

1. It’s the start of our second growing season. Time to plant arugula, broccoli, bok choy, leeks, peas, spinach, swiss chard, and other stuff – all laid out on Greg’s Desert Planting and Harvest Calendar.

2. Open the windows. For the first time in months, I’m sitting here in my den with the windows open, listening to the sounds of the outdoors. I love the feeling I get laying in bed at night in my upstairs bedroom with the windows open, listening tot he street sounds below. I feel so connected with what’s going on around me.

3. I can actually touch bare metal with my bare fingers without searing off my fingerprints. If you live here in Arizona you know what I mean.
