Be grateful in all seasons....

Is it mid-September? late October? Or end of December here in Houston. This Fall, rumor has it that our drought along with a spell of warm days and cool nights gave us a real Fall which we normal see come and go with little fanfare. Only our Fall came at Christmas. These pictures are taken the last day of school just a few days before heading to MN for Christmas. The kids and I loved walking home every day for a few weeks with real Fall colors on the leaves. I have to say growing up in Minnesota this messes with my system. I could not get into the idea of Christmas while we were playing in leaves? The really strange part is that while we were gone in MN we had rain. Yes....several days of rain and the temperatures warmed up and we now have green grass!!!!!! We had dead dying grass all summer and now January we have green grass!!

Fall at Christmas? summer in the winter? we may just be shooting off fireworks on Valentines?!
