SNOW!

Just after getting Jay down for a nap yesterday, I went into the living room and look out the window. What is that white stuff coming out of the sky? Wait- could it actually be- SNOW! Not just a barely there snow...but actual heavy snow collecting on the deck? Rooftops? Ground? WOW!

I've seen snow before...but not here in Texas. It was so peaceful to watch it fall throughout the afternoon. I couldn't hardly look away in case it quit! I was hoping that it would continue until Jay woke up...even though he would have no idea what's going on or why it is significant. Still wanted to get those all important photos with him in the snow to at least prove it snowed in his lifetime in Texas!

The photos here are of the deck and backyard. Below a nice closeup of the collection on the picnic table. Jay did wake up in time so that we could snap a couple of photos. And of course today it is sunny and 50 degrees. That's Texas for you...

I'm hoping spring will arrive soon...but not holding my breath. I think it could be a cold Easter... Guess we'll have to wait and see.

In the mean time it has been nice to have an actual winter. I don't think I want one every year...but every once in a while is nice!
