I would like to say thank you to all Highland Village policemen as they really do their duty and take good care of this community.
When we came back from California on 05/20/08, we wondered why a telephone book was lay on outside of our side back door instead of front door. Finally we found a notes from a police which states he moved the phone book for us since we had filed a vacation watch and he did not want anyone know we were not at home.
And tonight, after we took a walk and left the front door and windows open for some fresh air about 10 mins, two policemen came to the door and make sure if we are fine.
Dallas is not in the middle of a desert, contrary to some perceptions. The North Texas prairie rolls a bit, and several river branches and large creeks cut shallow forested valleys into the expanse of grasslands. The climate is variable, with several hard freezes and occasional snow and ice every winter and 15 days of temperatures above 100 F in a typical summer. Autumn tends to be brief because the summer heat persists well into late September, but there is a definite "turning of the leaves" which can be dramatic. And then there is spring. Plenty of rain, including some very stormy periods, and a large variety of native and adapted foliage which produce a great color show most years. Here are some images of Dallas color throughout the seasons.
