It's lovely in Texas if you stay inside

We braved the mid-afternoon heat to go swimming in the lake behind our house. The water level keeps getting lower, but we cannot quite walk all the way to the island (which is now a peninsula) though we only had to swim about twenty feet. Getting in and out of the water is not fun -- the ground is muddy and the water is hot when it's only an inch deep, but once we got out to the deeper water it was really very nice and worth going outside for.

Back inside now, where we can look at the water and the sky from the comfort of our air conditioned home. And if it ever feels too warm indoors because we turned the air up to save energy, going outside for ten seconds and coming back in does amazing things to make you appreciate the ~20 degree temperature difference.
