Man, you're making me want to go home right now and pack up to head for CALIFORNIA!!! lol. They would probably kick me out though since all Texans are so conservative. hehe. It is too hot here for most animals in the summer, so we have to take extra precaution that they don't overheat (plenty of fresh, cool water, shade, etc.) I can't even imagine what it would be like to enjoy the weather year round like you do. I live for spring and fall here because of the wonderful temperatures and climate. We've had a horrible drought here the last few months, and they are thinking it's going to go into summer, which will be REALLY bad, if the Pacific Jet Airstream (or whatever it's called) doesn't head south soon. That's what brings in moisture for us.
June bugs are cute! lol. It's the crickets you have to worry about! :) Wendy --- Nina <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Wendy, > The climate is one huge plus about where I live.
