Sunrise in Tucson
The sun isn’t up yet on this side of Tucson. It is funny how a few mountains can effect the time the sunlight hits the land around us. My Dad lives on the other side of Tucson a few miles away. His view of the East and sunrise isn’t blocked by mountains. He sees the early morning light at least 45 minutes before we do on this side of town.
The weather is cool now but not cold. Most nights we can sleep with the door open and the fan brings in the cool night air. Morning temperature right now is around 54 degrees. The highs this next week will be in the mid 80’s.
We can wear shorts and sandals during the day and even a long sleeve shirt if we want. The humidity is down around the 10 percent mark.
This is called “Fat Paper Day” around our house. Sometimes the days run together. But we can center our compass again on the morning the fat paper arrives in the driveway.
Putting on our Thing 1 and Thing 2 shirts and heading out to McDonalds to read the paper, share stories we find and see how many of the puzzles we can solve is centering. (Some times we wear our Incredibles Shirts, the kids love them).
This is our favorite time of year in Tucson. If you want to see amazing sunrise and sunsets. If being warm and only seeing snow on the mountains and not in your driveway sounds appealing, come on down. There’s plenty of sunshine and warmth to go around, here in Tucson.
