Fall Skies

September brings Scottsdale shorter days and temperatures dipping under 100 degrees.  The sky at 5:30 a.m. is now dark, with a hint of sun.  This morning, one cloud caught the first of the dawn's rays, causing it to form a white swoosh across the otherwise cloudless sky.  A small rainbow formed in the misty crown on top.  Dawn is a special time in the desert, filled with quiet calm. Today, not a single air conditioner hummed.  Autumn is near.
