SNOW!









We all know Texas weather is unpredictable. One day it can be clear and 70 and the next cloudy and freezing. Well, this past week we experienced some very rare weather conditions. We woke up Thursday morning to a snow covered pasture....and it kept snowing for approximately 20 hours. We had a total of 12 inches of snow at our house!

Thankfully Thursday was my day off from work, so I was not out in the weather. Travis and I spent the day playing in the snow and we even made a little snow man. We used pickles for the eyes, a pretzel stick for his nose, cheese for his mouth, and celery stalks for his arms. About 20 minutes after we were done the horses decided they wanted to check out Mr. Snowman. They proceeded to EAT his arms, eyes, nose, mouth, and then stomp on him until he was flat. It was pretty entertaining to watch from the window.

By Saturday afternoon most of the snow had melted away and we are just left with some extremely soggy and muddy land. At least it was beautiful while it lasted!
