Snow Day in Texas

[Greenbriar]

Here are the obligatory photos of our < 1 inch of snow!

It’s lovely

Is it sticky snow? I’d be out there trying to make a snowman/witch/cat if it was! Looks beautiful and I hope it melts quickly!

[Greenbriar]

Yes, it’s a bit sticky, there’s just not much of it. The neighbor’s kids made a snowman that was all of six inches tall!

The view from my backdoor of our 1 inch of snow. I may venture out in a little while.

Love the cat or dog paw prints across the deck.

[Ostara]

We have feral cats around. I hope they are staying warm in the shed. Hubby put some heat lamps out there.

[Greenbriar]

I hope they have sense to stay where it’s warm, although you may find a possum or raccoon hanging out with them too.

[Ostara]

True, we have a few of those around!

People are sledding at Hermann Park. Hubby was watching it online. That’s something you don’t see everyday!

[Artemisia]

I’d still be out there trying! It was always one of my favorite parts of winter growing up

[Garnet]

Do you wanna build a snowman?

Someone mentioned the other day about snow magic. I think I’m going to collect some snow! We have to get it while we have a chance right?

[Greenbriar]

Ah - good idea! Molly Roberts does a snow magic where she collects snow and lets it melt and uses the water when she’s painting. I’m “art-ing” today, so I should go and collect some snow!

[Ostara]

Yes, that would be awesome!!!

[Greenbriar]

Snowcone, anyone? LOL this will probably melt down to half an inch of water but it will be fun to use on my Imbolc art journal page I am working on.

[Ostara]

That’s a beautiful idea! I collected a big bowl of snow and when it melts I’m going to jar it and label it snow water for later use.

@Greenbriar It’s pretty wild to see and hear about snow in Texas! Sounds like you’re making good use of it - happy painting and crafting!

Yes?

In my youth, it was always a social event. I was an only child. The one and only time I built one, my mother pulled me indoors and shamed me for the possibility of freezing to death.
