Today was another beautiful day! I can't believe that people live in climates where they can be outside in January on a regular basis -- I could get used to this! Besides the fact that all four of us are sick right now, we still managed to get outside and go for a walk along the canal that's behind our complex. It'll be really pretty when the spring comes and things aren't quite so dead, but I'll take this over 24 degrees in Connecticut any day!
These two shots are of the public areas in our complex. Texas law states that you can't grill within 10 feet of a residence, so there is an area with two grills and an awesome stone bar and stools to use instead. I'm not sure how many people actually use something like this (everyone probably thinks that someone else is using it when they want it and, as a result, no one actually uses it!) but I would love to take advantage of this! I would love it more if we met some friends to use it with, but I'm sure that will come eventually.
No waiting for Memorial Day here! The pool is filled now, though I don't think people use it until March. But still! March is better than the end of May!
