Happy 2010, everyone! Since I didn’t quite make it through NaBloPoMo in November, I’ve decided to hop into it for this month. So here I am, posting today even though I’m pretty tired from last night’s revelry.
As you can see from the photo above, even the gargoyles caught a chill last week when it surprised us by snowing, not once, but twice. Despite the white sky and the smell of impending snow in the air, I didn’t quite believe that we would get any flakes that would stick.
Tex brought home some bags of wood pellets for us to burn in our wood stove. I call the stuff “fire chow” ‘cuz it looks like the typical Purina-style critter feed.
Although I miss friends and family, I still had a wonderful Christmas and New Year’s surrounded by lovely folks, people I didn’t even know this time last year.
Looking back, I find this even more surprising than snow in north Texas.

Hehe, don’t rub it in, Prof J! It’s chilly up here! ~Tui
Love the snow hat he’s wearing. He looks cold! lol.
It’s funny, Sheila. When it’s 100+ degrees out, I never think he looks cold! ~Tui
