But, the cold showed up, as predicted. It had warmed up to 19 degrees, by the time I went out on the porch...and, to 20 by the time I got out there with the camera.
Frost on an agave, I didn't think I had to cover. Hope it's not a loss.
The frost crystals are pretty on the bottle tree.
At least, I didn't have to cover this.
Frozen solid birdbath in front....
and, back.
Frost makes a glittery bed for ball moss, which fell on the car.
It's hard to see, but the fairway was glittering, too.
Is this a sign of things to come, for winter in Central Texas? I guess we'll see.
Hope you're have a good weekend. Stay warm.
I love your last photo oodles! Such pretty lighting and textures.
ReplyDeleteCool photos, the weather too. We expect a freeze.
ReplyDeleteThanks. To the eye, the fairway was scattered with 'diamonds'. But, that didn't show up on the photo.
ReplyDeleteNell Jean...hope you don't lose anything. I think I did. It's frustrating trying to keep up with the weather.
Those were great shots you got. I can sure feel your chill with those photos. Oh, wait a minute the the front door was open. I thought it was you. Oops. LOL
ReplyDeleteWe also got hit with winter all of a sudden but then we kind of expect it in Washington state. I don't suppose you expect it so much there in central Texas. Or do you? It looks pretty though that's for sure. I hope none of your plants take a hit for it.
I like your bottle tree. What kind of stand do you use?
ReplyDeleteI hope my agave is okay, too! I guess we will see...
I think El Nino is here for sure! That means a colder wetter winter for those of us down south. I can't remember getting such an early hard freeze before. I love your sparkly photos. Very beautiful. I considered going out to take some similar photos but since there was no sun, and I'm a wimp, I stayed inside safe and warm. :-)
ReplyDeleteLeSan,
ReplyDeleteTexas weather is really tough. Most of the time, it's nice in winter. Then, along comes a freeze to kill things, then back to nice again.
Amy,
Mr. P ordered the bottle tree from a place online. Bottletree.com. Then, of course, you have to drink wine in the proper color bottles...LOL
Jean,
I think you're right...we'll probably get more cold weather this year. The low was record setting for this early.
The sun came out, and it was a beautiful, not-so-cold day. AFTER it killed stuff.
Hi Linda,
ReplyDeleteI hope it the snow doesn't become too frequent! Texas is supposed to be our snow-free getaway when we retire! :O
Rosey (You stay warm too!)
Rosey,
ReplyDeleteI don't think you have to worry too much about snow in Texas. Not this part of Texas, anyway. The Panhandle gets a lot, but it's a novelty here. Quite unlike what you are used to.
I see you got more snow yesterday. Hope the temps went up.
Our daughter and family live in North Dakota....talk about COLD!
Have a good holiday.
