Snow Day 4

We got about four inches of snow on top of ice on Monday.

Now it's snowing again.

It's our fourth day below freezing so nothing has melted.

Rusty doesn't seem to mind the cold much.

He still wants me the throw the ball. I just have to make sure he sees where it lands.

There are quite a few buried tennis balls at the moment.

I started and finished a newsletter this week. 

How nice to be able to send the files to the printer digitally.

I've cooked and baked and spent some time sewing.

First snow

Snow in Texas is pretty rare.

Maybe one or two events a year.

This squirrel continues to taunt Rusty.

A good time to work on my quilts.

Last night I gave Rusty a new teddy bear.

He had a really good time with it today. Sigh...

Arts & Jazz

It was the perfect weekend for an outdoor music festival. 

I helped our friend, Ken Carpenter, in his jewelry booth.

Jon and I watched the talented steel drum band from UNT.

Dear friends and their four darling children joined us to hear the drums.

Their new, new baby snoozed through it all.

Mr. Personality (who used to be the new baby) kept us company

 while the bigger boys were off playing in the sand.

Perfect weather and great music. What a gift!

Spring in Texas

The last day of winter...

The second day of spring...

Stay warm.
