You can't really tell from these shots, but it's cold as hell here, in the 30s, and snowing. The neighbors told me it was gonna get this cold last night but I didn't believe 'em. Figured they were off their meds or somethin'.
I'm gonna have to refrain from yard work this weekend. An act of God? Could be.
The snow makes the thistles in the back yard almost look festive.
And why not take the opportunity to start a last blaze in the fire place for 2007. Weatherman says it'll be back in the 80s here by Tuesday or Wednesday, so I'll enjoy it while it lasts. Just took some chocolate chip cookies out of the oven. Mom's plannin' chicken and dressing for dinner Sunday. Life is good. Hope you all have a great, cozy Easter weekend.
Aaaaa, cozy in front of the fire, dreaming of springtime.

Update: It's still snowin', and it's supposed to be in the 50s tomorrow. What the hell?
Just woke up from a nap and looked out and it's still blowin'. It's been YEARS since we've had this sort of snow, and it's FRIGGIN' APRIL! I haven't turned the heater on. Just steadily burnin' wood in the fireplace and enjoyin' all the winter vibes. The farmers have got to be pissed, and all the beautiful bluebonnets that've bloomed are gonna go tits up, but I'm loven' it. Stay warm folks. It'll be over before you know it.

Must be Global Warming...
Wonder if we'll hear anything from soon-to-be doctor algore about the record setting cold? Thnk it'll get much play in the MSM? At least down here in Houston we're getting rain and not snow.
Cold as hell and snowing Easter Sunday in PA, too....ugh.
Happy Easter anyway;)
Ha! I kept trying to figure out what that teardrop thingy was in your backyard and took me two photos and an enlarging click to determine it was hanging off the wind chime...damn!
Looks cold outside, but that fire is so cozy and inviting.
Yeap, I'd say it's a true act of God and the weeds can wait!
This is such a wonderful surprise. Turns out the last time it snowed here on Easter was in the 1930s. Too bad it happened on the weekend and we couldn't get a snow day out of it. I know the farmers will be fucked, but that's what all those billions in subsidies are for, right? I just hope the bluebonnets survive. We had a HUGE crop this year.
Did you landscape that yard yourself? Cuz it's looking pretty doggone good to me.
Yep, we're freezing our asses off here in Dallas.
Rebecca - mostly resposible for the thorny stuff, and the weeds.
dick - Brrrrr.
Now that is crazy, even for Texas.
