Happy Labor Day

Thanks to Highland Groves resident Erika for the great rainbow picture; summer storms create such interesting looks, and are such a nice change of pace from plain hot and sunny.

Today is the last day to wear those white pants and shoes and carry that white handbag; tomorrow, it's on to fall colors. The monsoon season is over, cooler temperatures are here, and it's time to attend those chilly football games and start planning Halloween costumes.

I guess that's true in some parts of the country. One thing is universal, though. Football season is here, starting at the same time the Diamondbacks are pursuing a pennant. Football and baseball: the very essence of fall, even if it is 109 degrees today.

Enjoy the weekend.
