Joys of living in Houston

We are starting to get to the really nice part of living in Houston. In is 75 degrees out at 9:30 at night and perfect for walks. We can open the windows in the evening and still comfortably walk around in our shorts and t-shirts. In the beginning of September we were able to buy plants 70% off and spruce up our yard. They don't die here! No Frost! Our pool is still 75 degrees and there are no falling leaves to rake. This is what I call a great fall.

Besides really enjoying the weather we took advantage of museum day last weekend and went to the Natural Museum of History. We were able to see the TerraCotta Warrior exhibit. It was amazing.....The warriors were much taller than I thought, almost 6 feet tall. The detail was amazing and the quantity unreal. The amazing part is that they have excavating for almost 34 years and are not done yet. It was so cool that part of the exhibit got to come to America.
