I like the change of seasons. Just went through a dreary New England winter and now being rewarded with the rebirth of nature. What was a brown/yellow tint just a few weeks ago has bloomed into a spectrum of vibrant colors - lush green lawns, bright yellow daffodils and forsythias, purple shrubs and flowering trees, red buds on the maples. Everything being reborn all at once.
Everyone likes that change of season. Won't find many people who just love the way winter settles in after the holidays.

Right. My husband and I visited family in Ohio in March. Here in Texas it was starting to green up and get into the 60s during the day (and I think we got one more mild frost after we got back, if that - didn't do any damage to anything). There it was still freezing cold, still snowing and icy and UGH! Dirty snow piled up in parking lots, we had to bundle up everywhere, I swear I was cold for four straight days.
And so were they. They think they want to move down to Texas. I said, "COME ON! Just be sure you come visit for about two weeks in August first!"
Wow, that Texas forecast. It's 56F and raining in SoCal today, which is not normal (should be about 73F and definitely dry), but at least it isn't scorching.

We left that too this morning to come up to our cabin because they’re calling for 3-5” of snow tonight.
Meanwhile, it was also 34 degrees in Muni, Texas in the last 24 hours. Texas is a big state.
If you don't have a good grasp on the size of the state, you'd think that we were in for some tornadoes today because Texas is under a huge warning for severe weather today. Oh, wait - that's West and Northwest Texas - not Northeast Texas. No worries here.
I visited some family in Ohio over the weekend. They kept apologizing because it was so "hot." It was in the lower 80s. It was a good 5 degrees cooler than in NE Texas. It felt great to me, definitely not "hot." But NE Texas in late May rarely feels "hot" to me either. For me, when it gets over about 95 I start thinking "Dang, it's toasty out here."
It still feels like spring here in NE Texas to me, and I'm loving it. May is such a beautiful month in most parts of the US - and in many parts of the world for that matter.
I like most of June too but from about the end of June through the middle of September it's just plain hot! Oh well, it's summertime.

My buddies in Denver are saying it could snow tomorrow. Hope they didn't put up there winter clothes.
