Baby, It's Cold Outside

If you look very, very closely, you can see the snow we had yesterday.  Can't see it?  Well...don't worry.  We almost missed the few flakes that fell, too

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'm Honored

Recently, I was given a Best Blog Award, by LeSan at
Blue Gate Gardens.  This is my first award, and I am very honored.  LeSan does a really good job on her blog....great writing and beautiful photographs.

There are rules.  First, you have to post the name of the person who gave you the award....did that...then you have to pass the award on to other blogs.  Next, you comment on their blog to let them know you passed the award to them.  There are so many good blogs out there.  This won't be easy. This is just a sampling.  I hope they'll accept this award and that you enjoy reading their blogs as much as I do.  So, here goes.
