Fall in December

While we were in Missouri before Thanksgiving, our sister-in-law Christie asked when it begins getting cold in Texas. I told her around this time was when it got cold last year (beginning of December), but everyone from Texas was telling us that it was actually colder than usual last winter. This past week in Fort Worth has been in the upper 60's, and yesterday we set a record high of 83 degrees. I've had to open the windows in our house because it's been a little muggy.


Aparently now, we're experiencing Fall. Kevin and I have just started noticing the trees beginning to turn colors. Well...some of them. In the following pictures I took from our front yard, you will notice a couple of trees that have begun turning pretty Fall colors, but then others which are still very green. It's quite interesting to see this phenomenon just a couple weeks before Christmas. I think I'll sing the song, "It's beginning to look a lot like Thanksgiving..."



But I for one am very thankful for the warm weather. I love to be able to walk outside in the mornings without a jacket on and not freeze. I bet before long it will get cold again, but I am definitely enjoying it!
