Snow Day!


Even a dusting of the white stuff is magical when you're not used to seeing it...

Winter giveth the fields, and the trees so old,
Their beards of icicles and snow...
~Charles duc d’OrlĂ©ans, translated by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow



















The last one is from the next day. 
Since temperatures didn't get above freezing for a couple of days, the "snow" lingered in some spots.

By the third day it was gone...just a memory as we shed jackets and enjoyed 70 degree temps.

Texas, have I told you lately that I love you?

  5. We got a bit more than a dusting today, but for the first time in several weeks, the temperature rose above 10 degrees!
    It felt a bit like spring. :-)

  6. Is that the stone pathway your husband's been working on? Beautiful! Love the light dusting. We got some, too, but only in the flower beds.
