Oh how I am missing my 16 years in the southwest right now. I was just a little closer to the border in Tucson. I moved there in October of 92 and when I was approaching my first summer everyone told me-"Don't worry, it's a dry heat and you don't even sweat." Well I worked 8 hours a day outside and let me tell you, I sweat like a mother ^&($^#!!! I have to say though, I grew to love it. There's nothing like yanking bermuda grass from your hummingbird garden until sweat pours off your nose and elbows--only problem with that is when the neighbor comes by and you stand to say hello and experience the most wicked head rush ever and she thinks you are a fumbling idiot. Wait-I miss the head rushes too! When we buy our house we are making an Arizona room-Mexican blankets, story teller statues, ladders that lean on your wall and go nowhere, bright, bright lights and 10 hairdryers blowing on high!
I would like winter to make it's exit now.
