Summer is slowly toward fall and the heat and humidity here in New England complained that for 3 or 4 months before dry and cold. heating bills arrive, with colds and flu, shovels take the place rakes, snow blowers to replace lawnmowers. The days of the leisurely barefoot walk to the mailbox are over. For some us, the average winter hibernation many other creatures of nature.
There are those who venture to the south as well. When the sun is a little higher in the sky, nighttime temperatures do not drop below 40, and the sky is not cloudy all day. With the weather not conducive to the South and Southeast lately, one of several places in the United States is to invite Desert Southwest. I had the opportunity to spend some time in Phoenix, Arizona, several years ago and I can honestly say that the rainy season in Phoenix is high on my list things to do is.
I rode my bike all year round, not once touched a snow shovel around the time I was there and could walk barefoot in general, in my mailbox. And because he remained active throughout the year, I've never piled on the pounds for winter. Yes, life was beautiful.
With a average temperature of about 73 degrees, Phoenix enjoys what most of us have only heard of. July and August average high in the lower 90s.
