Fall in Mesa (in January)

This past week has been the height of our roughly three week long, annual shedding and blossoming of the deciduous trees cycle.  Usually around the first week of January, we have "Fall" when all the leaves change color and fall off, then by the first week in February the same trees are blossoming again.  Half of you don't believe me, I'm sure, but it's true.  It happens every year.  I'll post photos of blossoms on these same trees before Valentine's Day.  Here are some photos of Maya, Shayne and a few kids from the neighborhood enjoying this short window of time to play in the leaves.

 

 

 Later we walked over to the store.  Here is one of the trees that gets really pretty.

 We also got some ice cream sandwiches to eat under the tree on the way home...

Happy Arizona Fall!
