They say if you can’t stand the heat then you
need to get out of the kitchen, but that’s easier said than done in Texas where
summer feels like an oven.

Sure, we complain about the triple-digit
temperatures and pray for rain in times of drought, but deep down inside
there’s really no other place a Texan would rather call home.
As much I love the Lone Star State and the
heat that comes with the territory, I must confess my enthusiasm for the annual
onset of fall. The cooler temperatures, turning of leaves and weekends of
hunting and football are all as eagerly awaited in Texas as summertime swims
and backyard barbecues.
Fall is also a great time to enjoy rural
Texas. Drive out to a pumpkin patch, try your luck finding your way through a
crop maze and enjoy a hay ride. Rural Texas offers lots of fun activities
during this special season so venture out and start a new family tradition.
Fall officially starts this weekend and so do
the seasonal rituals that come along with it. It may take me a while to find my
jacket, but when I do, it’s as welcome as my boots and blue jeans when it
returns to the front of my closet.
Enjoy the cooler temperatures, Texas. The heat
will return soon enough.
