South Texas Snow

Wanted to show you this "cool" photo. I wish I knew who took the photograph so I could give them credit. I do know that it was taken here in deep south Texas in 2004 when we got 6 inches of snow on Christmas Day. It was rare and wonderful and amazing and cold! First snow in probably 100 years or more. No one who lived here could remember ever hearing of it snowing here before. Most people here had never seen snow before. It was so rare and exciting that there was even books written about it. To find out more about the books you can go to www.texassnowbook.com . Well the snow lasted about 2 hours, because soon the Texas sun came out and melted it all into a memory, but it was a fun 2 hours for all. It brought lots of smiles and lots of laughter on that morning. It was surely a Christmas morning to remember.

I will be going on a little trip to the hill country tomorrow until the day before Thanksgiving. I will see some of my family, my children, and will be staying with my friend Lana. So, I will leave you with this beautiful, and rare snow photo in south Texas. Thought you might enjoy it. I will be returning refreshed and with more photos and new creative ideas to share.

Until later, have some fun people! :) Yvonne

We were up in Fort Worth in 2004 and missed the famous snow. I was born in Oklahoma so I'm no stranger to snow. Snow in deep South Texas? Well, that's another story. My neighbors couldn't believe I was missing it, so they took pictures for me. Absolutely breathtaking!

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving,
Teresa

Can't help but wonder what that horse must have been thinking.
Have a fun time away!

Feliz Dia de Gracia!
When in town, visit the Conner Museum to see Shirley Jones' very first quilt. The quilt honors her dear friend Viola; Viola passed away this week.

We've had one decent snow storm since we moved to Tennessee but I've heard stories from some of the old timers about some great snowy winters.
The photograph is lovely and I like the horse. Beautiful markings.
