March 7, 2008

On Wednesday the temperature was in the 70's .. typical March day in Texas. I was contemplating moving all my turtlenecks and sweaters from the current-season closet to the out-of-season closet. Ah, the retired life is good.

Then Thursday morning the weather got colder and uglier. Pellets of sleet began to hit the window making pink pink pink sounds. Big fat flakes started falling ... falling ... faster ... faster ... until it became complete white outside the window. Dallas didn't get any snow, but in my corner of the world we got almost a foot of the white stuff.

This is Texas, right?

This is March, right?

The wind piled the snow so high on the front porch I couldn't get the door open. When Bob came home from work he had to walk around to the back door to get in. Each step sank into the snow leaving a deep print. Brrrr!

However, today we're snuggled up while the sun melts the snow on the roof. All in all, this is not a bad thing. I'm certainly happy!
