It's definitely "Why We Live Here Season" in Arizona.
The day started with our usual walk with our two dogs to our favorite coffee shop, Sugar 'N Spice, in Goodyear, Arizona. It was the usual gorgeous sunny morning with a slight chill in the air but plenty warm enough to enjoy sitting out on the patio with the dogs. The four of us share a cinnamon bun which we think are the best cinnamon buns in the world. By the time we walk back home one layer of clothing has to come off already. As soon as that sun gets high enough in the sky, the temperature rises.
We have to make a quick stop to pick up some more Christmas lights to finish this year's display. Ever since moving here six years ago my husband loves putting up Christmas lights because he can do it in shorts in warm weather.
Once home, he heads outside while I open up all the doors, do some real estate work, some house work, and put the finishing touches on the Christmas tree. The dogs love this time of the year too because, with the doors open, they can enjoy the outdoors whenever they want.
Larry's finished outside and gets the bikes ready for a bike ride and we head out on this warm sunny afternoon. We headed toward Litchfield Park and enjoyed riding around amongst the gorgeous houses and the golf courses at the Wigwam resort. We stopped for lunch at another one of our favorite places, Ground Control, and had a late lunch complete with an ice latte for me and a beer for Larry. We timed it right so we could watch the first half of the Cardinals game on t.v.
I can't wait for it to get dark tonight to see the finished Christmas display. It'll be nice walking with the dogs tonight to see all the new lights that were put up this weekend. The Thanksgiving weekend seems to be the official start of the Christmas season here in Arizona.
This day is typical of a day during "Why We Live Here Season" in Goodyear, Arizona or anywhere in the greater Phoenix Area of Arizona.
