If that sound you hear faintly in the background reminds you of 3 million people skipping, holding hands and singing, “At last!” — that’s because autumn has graced Phoenix with her presence.

Ah, happiness with a chance of new boots. My very favorite forecast!

While others stoke up fires, I’m going to pull out the winter wardrobe — shirts with sleeves.
