Something I never expected.

Front porch through the screen
with the door open
my sadly half eaten afghan pine
the drive way
My snowy durango, Son's camaro and other son's honda

Beloved left for work at 5:40. I got up and looked at 6:00, you could not see his foot prints, tire track, you could not even distinguish where his truck had sat all night.
In the 17 years I have lived here I have never seen this much snow at once. The kicker, it is STILL snowing. Not flurrying. I grew up in Missouri, I know the difference between snow and flurry. We are getting snowed on! This year I have seen more snow than ever in Texas. They (who are they? Old timers I think) are saying this is the coldest/worst winter we have had in 42 years... yikes!

It is so hard, my boss told me to stay at home today and not try to make it into town. (hmmm more sewing???) My son, the dare devil even decided it was too bad to go in today.
Remember this is south west Texas, no snow plows or salt trucks. The folks at TXDOT will be spraying something on bridges and over passes, IN town but not out here. This is rodeo week, one of the big crowd times of San Angelo.

Amazing, totally amazing. Beautiful, and it even quieted the dogs and goats and cattle and donkeys/mules next door. I did not think anything would do that!
