Changing of Seasons

Today is the first day of fall and I am definitely ready for a change in seasons. The summer we just had in Spring Texas was grueling. Full of heat, humidity, and very little rain. It was in May of 2001 that I moved to Spring Texas. I had arrived just in time for the start of summer. The best […]
