Summer in Texas is...
- Simmering heat.
- Clinging humidity.
- Thick air that chokes you when you walk outside.
- The droning of the AC as it works to keep things cool.
- Watching the steam rise from the street.
- Knowing your grass is going to die because you can't water it enough and you have no sprinkler system.
- Burning yourself on the too-hot interior of your car.
- Panting like dogs (this is SUPPOSED to work).
- Stripping off the layers as soon as you walk in the door
(admit it, if you're in Texas, you know you do it). - Getting excited when the temperature finally reaches 82
(at MIDNIGHT!)
So, why Texas?
- Roots (friends, family, church)
- History (I've been here since 2nd grade)
- It really is it's own planet
- Things are laid back
- Comfort (I don't have to have a GPS to get around)
- Convenience (something is always open late)
- My neighborhood
- Did I mention roots?
- Did I mention convenience?
- Oh yeah, people understand my accent!
But, if not Texas, then...OREGON!
(we just got back, pictures tell all)...
2 Cheers (not Jeers!):
I like this a lot!!! So true about Texas. Gotta love waking up in the morning and sweating to death because it's already 95*!
Oregon is SO pretty! I'm so glad y'all got to go.
Oh, PS, I just tagged you. Don't be mad either.
