We have a screen door, and enjoy it in the spring and fall on cooler days. We're planning to replace it with one of the storm doors that has a sliding panel over the screen soon, because I love the extra light and would like to have the main door open more often.

Reading these posts about the heat and humidity (we have the snow and the cold) I think about what the settlers had to endure. They were hardy folks, compared to them I feel like a sissy! But I love the modern conveniences!

I live in Texas, too. We have screen doors on four doors and can get good cross-ventilation when it's not too hot. (anything under 85º) We enjoy the fresh air. We do keep our screen doors locked and have a little four-footed alarm system. Couldn't stand to be in a closed up house all the time.

EDIT - this is what I was trying to think of: We have all four seasons: Almost summer, summer, Still summer, and Christmas
