FIRE IN THE SKY

Last night, we had the perfect combination of a few clouds, and a setting sun, which created what you see in the pictures. The view is from our front door, looking toward the lake. We have quite a few of these spectacular sunsets during the fall season. This is my favorite time of year here in Arizona. The temperatures have dropped from the normal 100+ during the day, and have been in the low 80's. It's cool enough at night where we can open the doors and let mother nature cool off the house. We're into the season where we don't need to run the air conditioning, nor do we need any heating. In fact, there isn't much need for a heater in this desert climate. We do turn it on for a brief period of time, usually in January.
Patty is getting the last of her things together for a trip to Greece with her son David. She leaves day after tomorrow, and will first drive to David's in Modesto, CA. It's a little over 500 miles from here to there, and can be done in a day, if one gets an early start. She'll have a couple of days to visit with friends in CA before they leave for the airport in San Francisco on the 4th of November. The trip includes a 4 day Mediterranean cruise, and her return flight to S.F. is on the 13th. I'll be hanging here at home with the 4 legged kids, and continuing with projects around the house and on the motor home.
