As if things have not been magical enough during this trip!  Late Sunday night we had some very impressive thunder and lightning.  Then, about at 11 o’clock I looked outside and it was snowing!!  Coming down pretty hard if I remember from way back when.  We do not get snow very often in Houston so this was fun for us.  I was up early like a little kid on Christmas morning waiting for a little bit of light so  I could go out and take some photos.  Luckily the roads were in ‘decent’ shape except for a few slick spots.  No salt over here.  I had a great time!

First stop right outside the back door to the edge of the yard. It is still 30 minutes before sunrise. Nothing but a big blue cloudless sky for light.

Montepulciano up the hill waiting to warm up.

I was making the first set of tracks down a dirt road and bumped these three from their bedding. Sorry girls.

A chilly morning for the winter wheat.

I wonder what the story is behind leaving the one tree?

By the early afternoon it was pretty much all gone except for shaded hillsides.
