If it weren't for a sudden abundance of all things pumpkin spice, we might never know it's autumn here in the Valley.
State of play: While people in the rest of the country are preparing for colorful fall foliage and soup weather, Phoenix residents are still sweating through 100-degree days.
If you want leaves that change color, you could always head to Flagstaff or other destinations in northern Arizona.
🗣️ You tell us: We may not have the trappings of autumn that folks get in other states, but that doesn't mean we can't still embrace the season.
