SNOW!!

Yesterday we took a drive to Ft. Davis and snow was predicted but we didn't think much of it...ya know...forecasts...."we'll believe when we see it."
Well, we sure saw it.
We drove over to McDonald's observatory and then headed home and it started snowing really hard.
Gene spun the car around going 35mph.
So then we drove home at 25 mph...it took a LONG time to get there but we arrived just after dark.
We had to keep stopping to knock the ice off the windshield wiper blades so Gene could see.
All these big ass diesel, four wheel drive trucks were passing us...but that was o.k. cos they created new "ruts" in the snow for gene to drive on.
It wasn't a blizzard or a "white out"...but almost.
I've never seen snow covered horses and cattle before.

I got up this morning around 4 a.m. and there was some snow in the yard etc...not in the streets or sidewalks.
Got up at 8 a.m. and it was really coming down...we got at least 3 inches and it's melting now.
And guess what? It was "BLUE THE PARAKEET" on the bird feeder asking for seed!!!! HE'S ALIVE!

OLDER NEWS:
Gene was painting the backyard fence last week and heard someone call his name. No one was there.
His ghost is a lady...mine is a man.
Mine hasn't called me in a long time.
