Snow Day!

In Texas, we normally get one brief spate of snow a year, if at all. So it was quite a surprise to find THIS outside!

The roads are pretty much impassible, so I'm homebound today. In fact, so is most of the metroplex here. Thankfully, at least Matt and Andy made it in to the shop today. That's dedication!

Of course, I had to get my daughter out and take her trash-can-lid sledding. This is still Texas, so this 'snow' is more like a hard-packed sleet. Perfect for our purposes!

And I can't say I didn't enjoy a bit of spirited driving on this ice. O what fun!

And Now for Something Completely Different...

Spring appears to be upon us, and I thought I would share some of the fruit (pun!) of another couple of hobbies of mine.

Photography and horticulture.

Now, believe me, I was surprised to see my new plum trees already in full flower so early, but I couldn't miss a chance to celebrate with some macros!

Both my apple and peach trees are leafing out with fervor!
