The Woodlands in the Spring

Widely known for the week long break from College Campuses across the nation, 'Spring Break' is considered to be the end of winter by many. Finding something to please the entire family is never difficult in Texas. The hardest part can be finding time to do everything!
Springtime in The Woodlands when the trees turn green and the flowers start to bloom and spring cleaning in the house. Spring planting in the yard or in the garden. Dining on the patio at your favorite restaurant or maybe on the rear deck with your favorite beverage by the pool.

A visit to Market Street might be in order for shopping, strolling or a bite at one of the local eateries in Town Center. The cool mornings and breezy afternoons of spring are a perfect time for a round of golf on any of the several professional golf courses winding through The Woodlands.

When summer has passed and the days grow short, the long list of events in The Woodlands continues. Samhain is a Gaelic festival marking the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter or the 'darker half' of the year. Most commonly it is held on October 31 – November 1, or halfway between the autumn equinox and the winter solstice.

Samhain

The "Irish-English Dictionary" published by the Irish Texts Society defines the 'Samhain' as follows:
All Hallow tide, the feast of the dead in Pagan and Christian times, signaling the close of harvest and the initiation of the winter season, lasting until May, during which troops were quartered. Fairies were imagined as particularly active at this season. From Samhain, the half-year is reckoned. Also called Feile Moingfinne (Snow Goddess)."

The "Scottish Gaelic Dictionary" defines it as "Hallowtide. The Feast of All Souls. Sam + Fuin = end of summer." Samhain is also know as: ShadowFest, Martinmas, and Old Hallowmass.
