I should think you’d be grateful for a little shade in Conroe. It took almost 10 years for me to get trees and shrubs high enough so that I could open my drapes in the living room in Missouri City (Ft. Bend Co.). My piano still bears the craze marks that developed before I got the drapes up when we first moved in.

I know you want more sunshine for growing veggies, but it is so HOT in TX.

Conroe is entirely different than Houston. Being in the Piney Woods region of eastern Texas, it is more like the south than Texas. Conroe ws founded as a logging town amongst all the pine forrest and being on the railroad line. There is a distinct change in the land and vegetation when you cross the San Jacinto river, just a few miles north of Houston on I-45.

The weather is the same, but we were accustomed to the hot and humid before coming to Texas.

Thank the Lord, Conroe is a whole different world than Houston, just down the road.
