We are having some CRAZY wacky weather here today! Ice storms and Snow - in Texas - in APRIL!? I grew up in Northeastern Washington, and it was pretty typical to get the occasional bit of snow on Easter, but this is Texas!
I think this is just SO WEIRD!
I took a few photos this morning at about 11am. It was REALLY snowing!
This photo is a small part of the patch of Bluebonnets that I photographed the Longhorns in just the other day.
Look at all the SNOW coming down!
This is Rover, a stray dog (or one that was just dropped off in the area by his owner) that has decided to call our farm home. He was less than thrilled with the morning weather. Here he's about to go curl up between some of the round bales of hay and wait for things to warm up a bit.
It's just about 1:00pm now and it's still snowing, but it won't stick around for long. The ground is too warm. It's quiet outside...the look on this little concrete raccoon says it all. The chickens are all still huddled up in the
barn. The donkeys are huddled under the trees,
and a few of the cows are in the barn with the chickens.
Earlier this week we had a couple of 85 degree days, so the drop to the low 30s is a bit shocking. The high temperature is supposed to be 39 today... it's only 38 now.

you got way more than we did.... my kids thought it was so wierd they didn't want to go outside.. like it was contagious??? lol!

You sure ARE having some crazy weather ... first the tornado watch and now the snow. We are used to snow in April up here in Southern Ontario, although we did get spoiled a week or so ago with some 70 degree days. Before you know it, everyone will be complaining on how "hot" it is!

It's supposed to be 35 as the low tonight in central Florida! My brother said it snowed in Flower Mound and my friend Dee said all her flowers were frosted out and the apples are gone in MO. Crazy weather, for sure.

The weather in Michigan has been goofy too, even though it is expected here! I hope everybody warms up soon--even Rover!

It's so pretty! You could always have a stamp retreat on the farm...I'm just saying!

This is just crazy easter weather! Stay warm. I love the bluebonnet pictures you have up, especially with the doggies!

Oh, that is so weird and here in the UK it's 70 degrees. The weather is definitely weird at the moment, we should be in the mid 50s, not the 70s.
Hope the snow doesn't last too long, but love your photos of it.
