Hurricane Season Is Almost Over and Fall Has Arrived

Well it was bound to happen, Fall I mean. With the end of Hurricane season comes Fall. And with Fall comes shorter cooler days and longer cooler nights. (Fortunately this year there were no hurricanes in the gulf.)

We had been having such beautiful weather; nights in the upper 60's/low 70's. Great weather to sit outside and enjoy the stars in the sky; Days in the mid to upper 70's with a little breeze and occationally a little shower but the last couple of days have been Fallish-cold wind (Houston cold) and lower temperatures. No more capri's and flip flops, now it's time for jeans and actual shoes.

I know in the grand scheme of things we have a great fall and winter in Houston. We don't have to worry about the 2+ feet of snow like Denver just received or brave the unbearable chill factors in the Texas Panhandle.

What can I say...Craig and I have adapted quite well to southern living. We like the heat and the humidity. We don't miss the icy roads or the dry chapped winter skin.

Our fall and winter doesn't last too long. We have a short season of both. It lasts from about the first part of November to the first part of March. I guess 4 months out of 12 isn't bad!

Happy Fall everyone.
