I see. It's good you have cool water to dip in, the Gulf gets quite warm in Summer, even though it's beautiful still. I think I read somewhere Austin's about 2 hours from the Gulf right? I tend to think the southern states share a lot of the same weather from the Gulf but I guess Florida really is down here by itself lol. I love the Summer skies here and also the storms and sky afterwards as they move out. So pretty. There are some people here with big (aloe vera looking) plants in their yards, I'm guessing it's some sort of cactus? Anyway, they're cool looking and pretty. And some neighbors have orange trees in bloom and it's so weird seeing that even though I've been down here a year. I try not to get used to it and take everything in when I'm out and about.
