Payson, AZ

As many of you know, Four Seasons Realty,LLC has a office in a log cabin in Payson Arizona. Our log cabin office was built by Classic Log Cabins and is located at 102 E. Main Street Payson Az 85541. I found a video of a log cabin being built by Classic Log Cabins near Flagstaff Az and thought it would be of interest to my blog readers. Just follow the link to watch the video of the cabin going up.

Well, it's that time of year again when our new AQHA horse babies come into the world. The breeding season went well last year and as a result we have new babies on the ground this year. I will be posting the new arrivals as soon as they get here.

"Sharin A Stone" AQHA Mare, was the first to have her foal. Sharin's baby is a very large filly that looks like a winner. Born in February this filly has her sires" Im Impressev Redford" AQHA Stallion's, beautiful head. Here is a picture of her baby only hours old. Thank you to Jose Huerta of Rio Rico, Arizona.

Wow very nice Filly.

Part one dealt with location. This post deals with climate.

Payson has four distinct seasons.If you are familiar with the Arizona deserts, you'll know that the desert basically has TWO seasons, warm and hot. But Payson, at 5,000 ft. elevation, truly has FOUR.

Winter:
Nights get cold, with 20s, and even teens not unusual. We may get rain, sleet, hail, or snow. But there are also a LOT of sunny days. Even in the middle of Winter, if it is sunny, it isn't unusual for the daytime temperatures to be in the 50s. We are now at the end of February, and they are predicting 72 degrees, we've had an unusually warm and mild Winter so far.
About Payson snow: Payson has the best snow in the world- it falls, it looks beautiful, and mostly it melts before it gets to be a problem. Most of our snow falls in the Spring- I've seen two feet over Spring Break, but usually it is inches, not feet.

Spring:
Payson goes back and forth from Winter to Spring through March, April, and sometimes even May.Last year it was in the 30s at night on Memorial day and I couldn't put tomatoes out in my garden until early June. While the unpredictable weather may play havoc with gardens, most of Spring is very pleasant.
Spring flowers and shrubs pop up, fruit trees blossom, lilacs are all over town.

Summer:
Some years May is warm as Summer, and June is always warm. Often there are dry winds. Just before the Monsoon (the rainy season in July and August) the humidity may creep up and make days uncomfortable, but once the sun goes down the evenings cool off nicely. Monsoons storms may bring high winds, thunder and lightning, and rain by afternoon from July through August, and often into September.

Fall:
When the Monsoon dries up Payson has lots of lovely sunny days, with cool enough nights to start the leaves changing by October. The great weather may last into November.
Cool days, crisp nights, beautiful leaves, what more could you want.

If you can't tell, I LOVE Payson weather. I like changes in the weather, and I like storms. While mostly sunny, Payson has enough of both changes and storms to suit me just fine. Payson is ideal for a four season climate without extreme conditions, not TOO cold or TOO hot.

Here is a link to long term weather data for Payson from weather.com It gives average highs and lows monthly, as well as average precipitation (last year we were ABOVE the 30 year average for precipitation, so MAYBE we are out of the drought).

Pictures by ME- isn't Payson pretty?

Ghostly "Doings" on Main Street

The old Journigan house, build in 1925 and located at 202 W. Main Street in Payson, has been investigated several times by API (Arizona Paranormal Investigators) and each time have found evidence that some "ghostly doings" go on there frequently. After spending some time investigating, the group gave the old Journigan house a Class 6 Haunting rating which means they have at least one photo image and one recorded voice phenomena.

The house was turned into a restaurant several years ago and the ghosts have been acting up by adding hot chocolate to the bills of customers who never ordered the drink, and causing A-1 Steak Sauce bottles to fly off kitchen shelves.

Missouri ghost hunters, Brian and Linda Lile, did some investigations one evening and heard a lot of physical evidence. Bar stools being moved, footsteps, voices, dishes rattling and knocking on a door leading to an upstairs apartment. They identified two different ghosts. One was the father of a previous owner of the building who died of a heart attack in his room and a little 8 year old girl who died of an illness in 1914.

A psychic who ate dinner at the restaurant was looking at some photos taken at a dance held on the patio and said she saw smoky images of other ghosts joining in on the dancing. So apparently the are just having fun and being playful.

And then there is the story of a Big-Foot like creature that runs around on the Mogollon Rim with his orange flowing hair shining in the moonlight. But that's a story for another time...
