In all my many, MANY years of living in Texas, I've never experienced an August like this one. At least, not that I can remember. As a rule, Augusts in Texas are to be endured with sweltering, gritted teeth and beneath shade or indoors. But THIS August! Rains? Cool temperatures? Yes yes yes yes! And now many of the plants have decided to bloom as well. I am simply amazed.
