It's been awhile...

I didn't mean to wait so long to post again, but I have been out of town and then distracted. I went to Utah to visit with some friends. When I left Flagstaff it was late summer, almost-need-pants kind of weather. When I got back, four days later, it was full-fledged fall, thankful-for-a-jacket-in-the-morning temperature. And the leaves were changing.
There is still a ton of walking to do here in Flagstaff: fall hikes to see the aspen color, Festival of Science starts Friday, Farmer's Market continues until October 11 and Pedestrian Awareness Week starts next Wednesday, September 30. Be sure to do the Downtown Scavenger Hunt, as well as the other activities.
