It’s such a rare occasion that it snows here in Texas where I live, so when it does, we get outside as much as we can to take snow pictures!  I have had so much fun over the years on the 1-2 snow days we have from time to time.  Yes…can you believe it – if we get snow, it is usually just a little bit of snow for a couple of days max.  Then it quickly melts into slush with dirt!  Yuck!  But when it first falls, it is beautiful, and I am always able to get some...
