Part Two--More Snow Pictures

Alas, I looked at the thermometer and saw that it was 36.  I looked outside, and sure enough, our lovely snow is melting.  BUT the sun is out and we have one of those gorgeous blue Texas skies!

So here are snow pictures several hours later, with the sun shining, shadows, and a blue, blue sky!

The same tree pictured in the previous post,
but the photo taken
 farther back.

Brave little pansies, peeking
through the melting snow!

Not a particularly good bird picture,
but it's the only one who was
out when I was.  Do my bird watching
and feeding friends know what
sort this is?

  Some people consider these nadinas "nuisance" plants,
akin to bamboo.  But the dwarf ones don't seem to be
as unruly as their full-sized cousins,
and only time will tell if they are
as invasive!



Here is Bill and Thelma's house, before the sun
came out--and their beautiful native
live oak tree.  We get the benefit
of both next-door neighbors'
trees.  All of these lovely trees were one
of the things that drew us to this
new development!

 Not to mention the lovely
cluster of live oaks across the
street from our house.
