Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

It’s May! Another month means so many great things will happen, but also there are some not so great things as well. As a resident in Arizona, there are both good things and bad things about this month. Since the weather is shifting completely to summer heat, it’s hard to see positive things about the month of May. Yet, there are still things I enjoy about it.

Continuing my post series about the five reasons I love and five reasons why I hate this month in Arizona, I found it hard to think about anything but the dreaded heat. Still, there are some really great things about this month that I enjoy experiencing.

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

It’s over a week since the start of April and I have yet to publish a post about why I love and hate this month in Arizona. To be honest, April is one of the months I struggle finding both good things and bad things to talk about. It’s not because I don’t have reasons I love and hate Arizona during April. It is because I struggle thinking of reasons that are not area specific! Even though I struggled to think of reasons to list, I decided to write the reasons I don’t like the month even if they are more common and familiar to the area where I live instead ones applicable to of the whole state.

Here are the previous month posts…

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

It’s March and it’s time for spring to begin! Even though spring begins in the latter half of March (AKA spring solstice), there are so many things to be happy and excited for. Here in Arizona, I love the month of March. It is the time when the weather is still really nice. Flowers are also in bloom and the excitement for Easter is building. Even though I love this month, I also despise, even hate, parts of this month.

Continuing a series of posts I started in January, I compiled a list of five reasons why I love the month of March in Arizona and five reasons why I hate it. You can read the other posts in the series here:

5 Reasons I Love (and 5 Reasons Why I Hate) This Month in Arizona- February

Published on by essieofwho1 Comment

It is a new month, which means many things. For me, it is a time to plan what to do in the area where I live. There are pros and cons to live in every area, including the area where I live. I live in Arizona and many people think Arizona is one of the best states to live in. Even though Arizona has a lot of great reasons to love living here, there are also problems. Some of these problems are seasonal and/or monthly. Because of this, I decided to write a post every month about five reasons why I love Arizona and five why I don’t. For the month of February, I like it in Arizona. Yet, there are plenty of reasons why I don’t.

Some of those reasons changed as I got older, but I have found the reasons why I love January is sometimes is directly connected with the fact I live in Arizona. Since Arizona is such a popular state to move to, I decided to write a post about five reasons why I both love and hate the month in Arizona. I also plan on continuing this post for the other months of the year! Wait for them to come out when a new month starts.

Thoughts About A Recent Refreshing Hike in the Arizona Desert

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

For many years, I would go out for a walk in the desert. The desert I like to walk around is near my relative’s home. The desert terrain ranges from easy to hike to moderately easy to hike. (It could be harder than I describe it.)

Recently, I went for a hike in the desert. While out there, I noticed things are changing in the desert. There are more homes built in the area, but that wasn’t what made me take notice of the changes in the desert. Instead, the desert itself is in a season of change.
