Cowboys and Cactus

For those of you who think that Texas is all cowboys and Cactus, think again! I get comments all of the time about the horrible wether in Houston and I want to say that it is a myth! Yes. I will concede. The summer is horrible. The heat is as bad as they say. However, the heat only lasts for four months and the rest of the year is so nice! We have been enjoying 70 degree weather for as long as I can remember. There are cold fronts that come in every once in a while and we have to wear a jacket but we can still be outside. I have only worn my winter coat five times this whole year! I love the weather here! I'm sure I will be singing a different tune in a couple of months when this place heats up but then it will be back to 70 degrees in a few months. I never thought I would say this, but I will take the heat over the cold any day! (As long as there is air conditioning!)

This is the side yard of our house. I love sitting out here and watching the kids ride their bikes. I love all of the trees!

Here is a picture of the girls enjoying the "horrible" Texas weather. This picture was taken in early March right after we moved in.
