Our La Quinta weather is dreamy most of the year.  Really.  Our winters are warm and mild and we have sunshine when the rest of the country is piled with snow.  We play golf in shorts in January.  That's why so many people spend the "season" here and leave their frigid midwest, or Pacific northwest homes behind.  The summer here is hot and like most years we have a "last blast" of heat in late September or October before the fall weather settles in.  Last week we had record breaking temps at 108° + and of course, I'm taking advantage and swimming my daily laps.  I don't mind the heat- in fact I really love the hot desert days and balmy nights.  Fall will arrive soon enough... I'm still drinking ice coffee... but it does have pumpkin spice in it!🎃   09/29/2024
