Texas Fall/Winter thread!

IIRC on Dave's garden website it says our last average frost is March 11. It always ends up last week of March or first week of April before I get mine planted.

Very moving piece of Texas history...that I fear is not being taught in today's Texas schools!

Limbaugh read that on the radio last week.

Spring must be close ..... hundreds of fat Robins eating bugs in back yard at the Ranch.

 

[robbyr]

Yep. Here as well.

 

[Bird]

And I've even noticed many more robins than usual here in town. I don't know why we have so many some years and just very few in most years.

 

[bindian]

I need more cooler weather. I hate building fence out in the sun when it is over 80 degrees.

I agree. For the first time in a while we a bunch of birds singing away every morning even before the sun comes up. Hopefully they'll stay on top of all the bugs sure to be out this year since we did not have much winter at all.

LOL! You are correct Brandi. I even got sunburn last Friday while doing some burning prep work with the tractor north of town. Spring/Summer is definitely here already.

Yep, only 20 days until we close this thread for the season and migrate back to the Texas Spring /Summer thread.

SPRING EQUINOX‎: ‎March 20, 5:29 A.M. CDT?

Hard to believe we move our clocks forward in 1 1/2 weeks.

Oh Snap, I still want more winter.

It's always winter in our house. My other half keeps it cold enough to hang meat.

We run a cold house when we sleep. But I want it cool to cold with low humidity outside. I can't build fence inside. I'm taking the next two nights off to embrace the last of the cool weather, while it isn't raining.

And mine is the exact opposite, sits under a blanket when I'm sitting under a ceiling fan.

Mother in law is like that. No matter the weather we need to make sure she has a sweater when leaving home just in case.

Hahaha...............my Grandpa had cold feet. We would sit in his rocker, with fleece lined slippers on by the fire, with the window open and a hand fan fanning his self.

Gonna go outside and enjoy a perfect "winter" day. 51 degrees and not a cloud in the sky!:cloud9: Perfect for fence building!:cowgirl::us-texas:

Hope all had an excellent celebration of Texas Independence Day (March 2, 1836) and Sam Houston's 224th Birthday (March 2, 1793).

I know I did.
