I'm still drinking ice coffee....

By
Real Estate Agent with California Lifestyle Realty DRE# 1780607

Our La Quinta weather is dreamy most of the year.  Really.  Our winters are warm and mild and we have sunshine when the rest of the country is piled with snow.  We play golf in shorts in January.  That's why so many people spend the "season" here and leave their frigid midwest, or Pacific northwest homes behind.  

The summer here is hot and like most years we have a "last blast" of heat in late September or October before the fall weather settles in.  Last week we had record breaking temps at 108° + and of course, I'm taking advantage and swimming my daily laps.  I don't mind the heat- in fact I really love the hot desert days and balmy nights.  Fall will arrive soon enough... I'm still drinking ice coffee... but it does have pumpkin spice in it!🎃

Kathy Schowe this is one of the benefits of your warm climate.  Even though my weather is much, much cooler, my wife will enjoy ice tea year round.

Kathy, your enthusiasm for La Quinta's weather is infectious! It’s amazing how those warm winters create such a welcoming atmosphere for visitors and residents alike. As someone in the real estate industry, I can appreciate the appeal of a location that offers year-round sunshine and outdoor activities. Your mention of swimming and enjoying iced coffee with pumpkin spice perfectly captures the seasonal transition. It’s always a great time to explore the beautiful properties in your area! Cheers to the warm days ahead!

Hi Kathy- we began the morning in the mid-60s which jumped to 90+ degrees. Our winters are not as mild as yours though. That iced coffee looks pretty good.

That sounds very similar to the weather in my area, but I have never even had coffee and probably never will, haha.

Brian England - We had a real estate meeting last week, and no coffee was served.... I was shocked!  Luckily I had an ice coffee waiting for me in the car.  I don't go out for coffee... I brew all mine at home!  K

108 degrees is pretty darn hot, Kathy! Reminds me of living in the UAE! We are still seeing 80 degree weather in Charlotte and I'm anxious for a bit of a cool down.

Nina Hollander, Broker - Winter will be here soon!  Luckily the holidays help cheer us through  the first cooler months!  Kathy

Hi Kathy,
I'll be heading south at the end of this month. Hopefully, the heat will have moderated by then. I'm looking forward to being able to play golf all winter. I'll give you a shout out if I get to the La Quinta area.

108 in late October.  That is quite a shot !  I have always enjoyed the summer heat and still do although by October I am looking forward to some storms.  m

Mark Don McInnes, Sandpoint-Idaho - I do miss those big thunder clouds and the smell of rain that we had in NM.  But sure can't really complain about our mild desert weather!

Kathy Schowe - I've never tried iced coffee. I've come close to ordering, but always change my mind at the last second for hot coffee. Even when it's hot in Texas, I'll choose the traditional coffee. 

However, if per chance we ever meet and you order Iced Coffee, I'll join you with a cup to try as well.

I find iced coffee so refreshing.... and it's not cold enough here yet for me to go back to hot!  Have a great weekend!
