Snow doesn't come often here in the Hill Country of Texas

                                                                                Vickie, HCMG
 

Winter's last hurrah . . .

  Stillness
   A late winter snowfall brings excitement
to what has been a drab, wet season.

   This little Cinnamon Bunny-Ear Cactus suffers through the uncommon snow & cold.  The surrounding bluebonnets are practically buried.

Solitude
   Empty hillsides and roads —
we’re not accustomed to snow!

   A dusting of snow frosts variegated
loropetalum and Japanese yew (forefront).
By afternoon it had all melted.

No takers for this garden spot . . . not today!
