One of the sad things about living in Southern Texas is that you really only have one season:SUMMER! I take that back..there are three: a couple of days of spring, summer for 9 months, a month or two of early fall weather, and then a day or two of spring. We had some beautiful weather two weeks ago (in the 60's) and then last Friday we hit 97 degrees--that's right, folks--97 degrees!! It was a record. The last record was set in 1920 at 92. Crazy!!
I tell Matt all of the time that i look forward to moving back up north so that we can have some seasons. But we have realized after talking with family and friends that the southern part of the country does have some good things attached to it. the most important being produce. We have never paid more than 75 cents for an avocado. We love this feature!!
We don't have to worry about winter clothing--but i LOVE sweaters.
We only have to run the heat in the house for maybe a total of 7 days a year. But that leaves 358 days a year for AC.
Okay.. i have gone on long enough about Southern Texas.

Katie and family,
At least you don't have 358 days of COLD, GRAY, DEPRESSING weather.
Well...maybe not 358...but close enough.
I'm actually a bit jealous of your hot weather right now. There are still no leaves on any of the trees here...not a hint of green...our high today was 45 maybe...with a chance of 5 inches of snow tonight!! Um, can it get anymore depressing than that??! :-)
Here's to wishing I was in Southern Texas right about now...
