Winter
A few years ago when I relocated to central Texas from upstate NY, one of my major thoughts was that I'd never have to deal with winter/snow/freezing temperatures again.
Well, the joke's on me. I had no idea that parts of Texas would deal with such intense winter conditions. I sometimes compare our temps with those in Fairbanks, AK, and sadly, we're often colder (it's only for a short time but still.....)
So our garbage is collected every Monday and Thursday mornings. This trash can has been at the curb since Monday. It's Thursday morning and there hasn't been a collection yet. I'm not complaining, just stating a fact. When I went out there this morning, I saw the icicles hanging from the lid and had to get a pic before I destroyed the beauty of them. If someone had designed this, they couldn't have done a more beautiful job.
The driveway and streets aren't icy anymore but the grass and trash can haven't thawed yet.
My thankful for today:
Homemade soup in the fridge for dinner tonight
