The past few weeks have had these four seasons all rolled in to one. One day, you need a quart of sunscreen, the next day a coat and umbrella. Now after studying the latest weather forecasts and models, it seems that a fall like weather system complete with northeasterly dry and hot Foehn winds, will ramp up this weekend. Wall to wall sunshine will be the motto for the next several days, so enjoy those lush green hillsides while you can, they will fade to brown quickly.
Here are the last couple of weeks of our ever changing weather and photographed by yours truly.
