Great Big Texas Weather
For those of you who have been in Texas in the summer for any length of time, you will be able to appreciate and relate to these. For those of you who have NOT been in Texas in the summer, realize how lucky you are!!!
It's so HOT in Texas, the birds have to use pot holders to pull worms out of the ground.
It's so HOT in Texas, the potatoes cook underground and all you have to do to have lunch is to pull one out and add butter, salt and pepper.
It's so HOT that the farmers are feeding the chickens crushed ice to keep them from laying hard boiled eggs.
It's so DRY in Texas, the cows are giving evaporated milk.
It's so DRY in Texas, the trees are whistlin' for the dogs.
YOU KNOW YOU'RE IN TEXAS WHEN. . .
You no longer associate bridges (or rivers) with water. . .
You can say 110 degrees without fainting. . .
You eat hot chili to cool your mouth off. . .
You can make sun tea instantly. . .
You learn that a seat belt makes a pretty good branding iron. . .
