One warm day and all I am thinking about is spring!

I have enjoyed Texas on more than a couple of visits, went swimming on S Padre Island on New Year's day once. Locals looked at me like I was crazy, was about 75 degrees there, vs -25 back home! I would love to make a permanent relocation, but wife not inclined at this time, plus I have a few more years of work before I will be able to retire. It does get pretty hot down that way.
