Just had to give something for us northerns to write about.
You know you are swimming in the north when you go for a polar bear swim.

Neat thing about the South, we have trees with leaves that actually change color just like the leaves in the North. If you don't believe me, take a ride on the Blue Ridge Parkway sometime in October.
Our leaves in Houston change color. About mid June they begin to change to a "beautiful" brown and yellow hue. Probably from 95 degree temps and no rain for the last month. Soon they turn green again as August brings the first rains of the summer. August rains soon however become hurricanes and the leaves turn to a mushy brown from too much water. Later, as the hurricanes fade into fall, the leaves turn green for a short time before the arrival of winter when they will turn brown and fall off the tree into my yard. See? Leaves change color in the South too.
