Generally easy living...however,

I get asked all of the time if I like living in Phoenix. When I say yes, the next question is why. I always say, because it is easy living. The roads are good, things are easy to find and get to, shopping is good, the people are good and above all, the weather is good. It does get hot but you learn to deal with it. There are no hurricanes, no tornadoes and no snow storms. However, the dust storms are a pain in the rear!

We had one last night. I wake up and the pool is full of leaves and tree buds and the patio has a fine coating of dust. It is the one thing that I don't like about the Phoenix weather. To add to it, I think my house sits just the wrong way. My garage in front gets leaves blown into it and the pool in back suffers the same fate. Of course, I think my neighbors homes remain spotless through it all.

My next home here in the Valley will be shifted about 90 degrees!

For those interested, the front of my house faces southeast and the rear faces northwest, not good!
