I love being a Texan, but I'm not all that crazy about the weather. Most of the time, it's okay...but there are those 108 degree days...thank you, Lord, for a pool! There are also lots of very cold days...and my school is an older, open concept school without hallways, so the minute I step out of my office, I'm outside. There are days that my coat never comes off.
I'm not complaining because I think I do much better when it's not cold, and there are more of those days. But sometimes I long for snow. I've never lived in the north, so I've never really had a white Christmas. I have lived in New Mexico, and remember snow days where you still had to go to school...an unknown concept in Central Texas. We had a pretty good snow day this year. It had been cold enough for several days to stick to the ground. I didn't actully get to see it..it happened during the night. But, as soon as I woke up, I took pictures.

Sorry birds! |
