Snow!

Okay, before you northern gals like Rose fall down laughing, please understand...we don't get SNOW. We usually get ice. Snow, fluffy, white, and wet, is a true joy.

Texas is getting a fine taste of late winter today with a snow storm that arrived faster than expected. Instead of arriving after supper, this storm bullied it's way in for lunch causing havoc with streets, schools, and afternoon ballgames.

The flakes are huge and plentiful. I'm having trouble just staying inside because it is so pretty.

The camera and I have been outside a lot.

The beginning....

Two hours later....

Tulips are just beginning to open....

Daffodils in the snow...

Hyacinths ~ white on white....

Who says Texas doesn't have four seasons? We've had at least that many this week alone.

LOL! I thought you were tagging me for one of those crazy games or meme's or something. Once when my sister lived in NM, she sent us pictures of the snow they got. You could barely see it amongst the grass blades. We really laughed about that! Wonderful that you got a thrill of winter weather. Your photos are gorgeous. You ought to frame one to hang in your home...just as a reminder that it CAN happen ;)

I was kinda nuts about photography yesterday. We so rarely get pretty snow. I really wanted something nice for our Christmas cards next winter. We'll see what we think in a few months.

I do think I'll keep one of these photos for my desktop background in July and August....just to keep things cool.
