A native Chicagoan enjoying the 6 inches of snow here in Austin.

Back yard. That would take a lot to shovel out if I cared. Why bother it will melt in a couple of days. Also, some large tree limbs fell and are hanging on by hope. I’m not stepping under them to be their hope.

Wow look at that drive way. Up north I would have had to spend hours digging it up. Now we just enjoy the view.

Looks peaceful. But you’ll have to recall the meandering trail to the mailbox. Perfect job for the 10 year old.

You are looking at three house across the street. But the trees are hiding them all. You’ll just have to trust me. We are not in hill country.

Dog tax. First snow for Effy She is classy lady and does her business butt deep in a snow bank. Not captured was her attempt To come in without finish number two. That requires an accompanied trip to the back fence. Perfect job for the 12 year old,
