I Love Texas!

My hiker friends, "Greenstone" & "Thimbleberry", who live in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, sent me an email yesterday (along with photos) exclaiming about their first snowfall of the season, 3-4 inches of the white stuff!  They loved it!

All I could think of was Brrrrrrrrrr!  I am so glad I am not there!  Tom and I loved visiting Michigan's U. P. back in July, when the weather was tolerable, cool nights and mild days.  It is such a beautiful place to visit (in the summer).

Here at home, I mowed our yard yesterday.  Since all our recent rains, everything is still growing and green abounds.

My horse, Tex, still has plenty of grass to munch on in his pasture.

And the pepper plants in our garden just keep on producing!

On the first day of November, Tom and I chopped up enough peppers to fill 5 quart freezer bags.  We can't remember ever picking peppers or anything else out of our garden this late in the year.

But oh how sweet it is to live here in Texas and enjoy all the nice weather we are having this Fall!  Thank God, no snow!  Since I was born in Galveston and have lived in Texas my entire life, I cannot even fathom living in a cold, snowy climate.  Brrrrrrrrrrrrr!
