Or as close to a winter wonderland as we get down here anyway! If you know anyone in the southern half of Texas, you probably already know that we got quite the dusting of snow.
A winter wonderland of snow!
Well, at least until it melts! Hurry fast! …as you are reading this, it has melted away…
But now I am on a roll!
Oh, the weather outside is frightful and, baby, it sure is cold!
Yup, true, but is sure is purdy.
Alright, that is enough.
It actually was not as cold as that time I had to wear sweatpants on my head. Yes, I have had to do that!
This is not the first time we have ever had snow, but it is the first time I have ever seen the farm covered in snow. It sure is magical. An early magical Christmas present, if you choose to look at it that way. Which, I do.
Man, it sure has been an interesting year as far as weather for everyone though. Hurricanes (yes, remember plural). Fires (oh my word, so many fires!!! Still!). And now this. It will be a year for the books in many ways.
Anyway, on to it…It is that time of year where I make special trips out to the farm when it gets cold to blanket my old horse and give everyone some extra feed. Have I already said that this year? I can not remember, so I told you again. It happens to everyone, right?? Yesterday, after work I quickly gathered Darcy and my things and headed out to the farm a little extra on edge knowing the chance for winter precipitation and many things to do before dark. The weather reports said there was a slight chance, but if you did get some snow, it would not stick. I did not believe it. Even still, I knew it would make for an interesting commute back into town to go to work.
Long story short, I woke up to this!
It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s a…abominable snow monster? No, that is just a streak of a Darcy.
She flies.
Better watch out.
Or you will miss her!
A cold Cheetah in her natural habitat.
The cutest old guy.
I was in the office by mid morning. My mom, who is the best, met me at my office to pick up the Darcy Dog so I would not be too late.
My Pop’s, who is also the best, is on blanket and feed duty so I can go have some Christmas fun. There will be cocktails, cupcakes, ugly sweaters, and more! Do not you worry, I will tell you all about it.
Until then, dear readers, go walk in love!
