Warmer

Yes, the cold spell here is over. That is what is nice about living in Texas. The cold weather doesn't last long.

 So, this is obviously not Texas. It a picture of an avalanche in Lake City Colorado, which is where our summer home is. Matter of fact, this slide which was a couple of days ago was a little too close to home. Our street is just below this. Colorado has had, and is still having record snowfalls with several avalanches reports and many road closures.

Fort Worth though is warm and beautiful. Tom's back is still ailing him, so instead of going for a walk, we went for a drive. We hadn't been on this nearby street and marveled at the huge Live Oak Trees.

Looks like the neighborhood is proud of them too since it left this one right in the middle of the street. I have seen this done before, but in a very small town. Can you imagine driving along here at night, or having to back out of one of those driveways?!! Just wondering, would this be allowed in your town?
