Snow for a day


Texas is known for its warmer weather where we live. El Nino supposedly has touched us this season causing many much-needed rainstorms and colder temperatures. We have had several occasions when the Canadian air has pushed its chill down here. The lowest temp we have recorded was at the end of December at 7.5 degrees Fahrenheit.
More recently, on February 23rd, it had been predicted that we were to have snow flurries. Many were skeptical if they would actually come and stay.
Fortunately, I awoke to snow falling that morning. It was so beautiful. I have missed it so much seeing how I grew up with snow practically everywhere I have lived - New Hampshire, Utah and Idaho.
Our neighbors ceased the moment and built a snowman. Moo didn't know what to really think of it - he wanted to eat it but was hesitant. And he didn't really like walking in it either. Jared, of course, took advantage of making snowballs only to attempt to hit me (I was faster at moving once I got nailed off-guard).
I had been secretly desiring for snow this winter and I guess my wish came true!
