I just wish mother nature would follow my guide more often here in Austin:


I made a snowball that the Beagle promptly ate. The dogs are loving this.
And I know Chris is laughing that such small amounts of snow are basically shutting down town but when your first line of defense against ice and snow on the road is to throw sand on it…yeah, Texans are the best in the world at everything EXCEPT driving in the snow.
However, standing out in my backyard, listening to the silent breeze peppered by laughing children and sirens…contented and peaceful.
