Minnie Bear looks a little puzzled but so cute!
I remember hearing you all got some snow down there in southern Texas and was so happy for you! Even a little snow is fun. We have gotten a few real days of winter with ice and good, fairly deep snow over the years but thankfully, then we always get a warm-up to our normal kind of winter where our average daytime temp is usually in the 50's during the winter months and I don't think we ever stay below 40 all day but half a dozen times or so a year. No snow shoveling ever! It just melts away on its own and is never really that deep - just enough to be pretty and enjoy for a while and take lots of pictures. Once we make it through those two or three months of hot summer, the rest of the year is really, really nice with just enough changes in weather to give us a taste of good variety. Once that I remember in my lifetime it got to "0" degrees here one winter night around 1989 or so - it was dang cold! I was so scared we'd get really cold in the house that night but we stayed warm, nothing bad happened and the pipes didn't freeze or anything! Thinking back on it, it was kind of exciting but I'd hate to live too long in weather that cold or have to go out in it! When I hear that some places get down to -60 and more in winter, I cannot even imagine how they get through it.
Just think, now that summer is ending and besides fall and winter up ahead, we get the holidays, too! Best times of the year just ahead.
