Gotta love Texas

Pretty abnormal summer so far... if we make it past today, it'll be the first July in memory that we haven't yet hit 100 in San Antonio (at least not officially). Kinda nice for a change.

Yumping Yimminies ... you jinx it ...

Now we have.

Texas Chili will warm the soul ... and just about the rest of the body ... :blush:

And just like that, I've freezing my butt off and got the heater running. Just 72 hours ago the air conditioner was on. Maybe less than that even. I hate winter. That's why I got to Texas as fast as I could. I just didn't go far enough sount. And it's too late for me to move again.

Larry.. the good things about moving further south, i.e. Midland to Kerrville, is that:

a. It doesn’t get near as cold in Kerrville as does Midland, nor as often...

b. 2 days is about all the cooler temps will last in Kerrville...if that long...and one appreciates the cooler temps so much that we just don’t mind having them.

C. Then, of course, one can always warm their soul with some good San Antonio style cheese enchiladas with chili — or delicious Hill Country BBQ — or scrumptious German Chocolate pie.... or... :clapping:

p.s...I have noticed that Kerrville stays a consistent 5-7* cooler than the surrounding non-hill country areas...guess its the small altitude increase as well as we usually have SOME sort of breeze...but the days with no breeze in the summer are what air conditioning is for.

Winter is upon us in East Texas. 38 last night. Still have 2 hummingbird hanger-ons as of yesterday. And yes, had chili last night with smoked brisket and pork butt combo for meat in it. Threw in 3 home-grown chopped poblanos and a yellow grande pepper to spice it up. Chili time for sure. 66 for high today...hope we can ride to church today. Wife already hinting about hooking up RV and heading to warmer climes. Dunno where.

Everyone have a good one. Ken

Hope you find somewhere warm for the winter. We are almost done here in Ohio. May need to get the Sblower out of the trailer. Take care Ken

Whether fake or not, that really is a sign of the times as you do need protection in some areas.

Although Dallas more than Fort Worth as far as I'm concerned but really any metropolis.

Love the area where Paws is. Close to the twisted sisters. Close to San Antonio. Couldn't ask for more. Well ........... On second thought, if my wife would move in with one of the kids ............. :clapping: ..........

They are just starting to show up here. Unfortunately it seems the road crews are cutting them way too soon so we are getting fewer each year. Why they can't go around patches of bloom is beyond me except that would require the use of a brain.

Not accurate anymore. Should be a few blue dots around Dallas, Austin and Houston and maybe a few other invaded areas. So this might be an older map.

 

[CrystalPistol]

Yeah, it's true.

Funny ... and a great recipe.
