Distracted......... when can we go

OK - while I realize it is way too hot currently in AZ, I am already dreaming of heading back down. Seattle has been terribly grey, wet and cool for this time of year since we landed at the sticks and bricks place. I already feel the need for some sunshine!! So, I think we will head south around mid-October.

When do you head out for the warmer south lands?

    Hello, fellow mossgrower...interested in a temporary "fix"?

    Don't overlook the warmth on the other side of the Cascades right here in Washington State...I recently enjoyed two weeks of blissful sunshine on the East side, and my Husband is over there right now with his motorcycle gang ("The Rebels Without a Clue").

    And if you go soon, you can still get in on the Spring wildflower bloom- eye candy! :)
  • We leave NW WA in late October, early November, for the Phoenix area. Up until this week the weather has been pretty good compared to last year when we had the wettest June on record.
  • We head south around the 1st of October. We too are getting a little tired of the rain and coolness in the month we've been up here on the Oregon Coast. Hopefully, it will warm up a little and start the "dry season".

    However, heading for Arizona in June is a big mistake....bad idea...bad!
  • October, and I'm beginning to think June is too early to return.
