Re: weather

Very rare to get rain in the summer.  There is usually a big high pressure
system that settles in over North Texas around Memorial Day and it stays
there until fall.  Every once in a while a strong cool front from the
Rockies will blow through and give a brief respite from 100+ temps and
sometimes drop a bit of rain.  But that's it.  Hence all my xeriscape
plantings.
