Our big freeze came early this winter.
The Great Freeze of 21 killed 92% of all the squirrels in North Texas. The trees and shrubs are still trying to recover. Now, at the end of January, our forsythias are blooming and the daffodils are starting to bloom. Has the weather always been this strange. I don't remember it being weird from my childhood, but we lived in Houston and only had 2 seasons. Image

People from Houston find the air oppressive. 😜
Houston is no Beaumont. I hear Beaumont, Texas is like Bali. Beach weather.

We had 17 inches of snow on the ground for 2 weeks with -4 temps.

You go ahead and move to Beaumont. You'll be the only one.

It's a nice and sunny 65deg today. If the wind would stop blowing 40 mph it'd be a real nice day.

They're recovering. A couple of good years later we have 3 in the yard. Hunting for them is still bleak though. They do breed like rats.

Unbelievably gorgeous day today here in NE Texas. We went to a market festival in Mims Chapel and had a drive on some of the prettiest roads you ever saw.
