We're experiencing the winter season for the first time here in Texas. We are anxious to experience all the seasons this new state has to offer. We regularly compare other places we've lived and the temps and weather...Arizona, Idaho, California. Mid-December and its been great thus far, no complaints! We've had a handful of colder overnights dipped into the 40's - days have ranged from 60's to 80's but primarily 70's and just lovely out. We're told Jan into the first week of Feb is the coldest here so we shall see what the next few months bring us!
The other day we were just talking about the summer and how it really wasn't a huge adjustment to make to the heat here as we've experienced high temps in AZ for a long time. The humidity we thought was going to be a bigger adjustment than it was - it truly wasn't that bad! Of course just like other places we've lived you have those really uncomfortable days but for the most part it was perfectly fine.
So fall and winter thus far have let us wear light weight long sleeves and even skirts and tank tops!
Leaves are everywhere - the pecan trees around town went bare first and some of the oaks are still full of leaves, others are half bare. It definitely looks more fall-and-winterish here!
To kick off holiday season, Christmas season, we went to our town's courthouse lighting and Christmas lights parade. It was spectacular.
This last week we ventured to a town 30 minutes away for their two-day downtown Christmas event and did their drive-through Christmas light tour at the park which lasted an hour and was truly amazing. We did not expect it to be so large! We also went to our church Christmas dinner and were able to talk to new friends and get to know people even more in our new area.
And around here- piggies are still settling in. I love that I can go to our backyard and catch a glimpse of them.
And one more photo that was posted on our community group to share of our town lit up-
