It finally snowed!
It wasn't in Colorado, New Mexico, or Missouri,,,,it was in my own back yard! After some freezing weather here and snow north of us, up in Dallas / Ft Worth, we had some beautiful warm days. Sping teases us like that. Not even the bluebonnets truly herald Spring; I have learned to wait for the pecan trees to leaf out before I know I have truly seen the last of the cold weather.
Thus, our short-lived week of Spring-like weather gave way to another dose of winter. In this area where we pray for rain and a cool front all summer, we had snow. Not just a few frugal flakes, but big, sopping wet, hunks of it floating and dropping from the sky. The ground underneath still harbored the earlier warmth, but the snow "stuck" and provided a thick layer on everything. If it falls below freezing tonight, the roads will be deadly for our inexperienced drivers because the water will freeze and leave driving surfaces slick.
Nevertheless, I indulged my fantasy this morning and went for a walk in the falling snow. Layered clothing kept me warm. My camera kept me focused. I walked a couple of miles in a winter wonderland where no one else ventured. The snow covered lawns and sidewalks and I had them all to myself. Mine were the only footprints. Happiness is a 2 mile walk in falling snow.....
