Our Fall is our nicest season; summer temps of 110+, spring is windy, winter lows 28-35 (that's cold for me). Fall is beautiful, highs in the 90s 'til well into November. We usually eat Thanksgiving dinner outside in short sleeves. It's funny that all of the big box stores put patio furniture and BBQs on sale in the Fall, just in time for our prime outdoor season. But for me it's work in the winter that sucks. I'm a Respiratory Director in a hospital and that is our busy season. Flu & pneumonia season, the kids with RSV, the snowbirds flock in and bring all their health problems, the off-road trauma from nearby Glamis. Staffing is tight and coverage only works if no one ever calls in sick. Then there is the holiday schedule, figuring out who draws the short straw and works which holiday. :sigh: I miss summer :(
