The Calm AFTER The Storm

Wow, I am sooooooo glad these last few days are over!!!

What a crazy awful weathered weekend!

At least the sun is finally shining again today and THE WIND has stopped blowing.

Wind blowin'.....snow blowin'.....blowin' snow.....MORE wind blowin'!!!

I braved the elements this morning to get some photos.

Looking out my kitchen window.  Of course, anytime there is a storm here in Texas, no matter what kind it is, could be rain, sand OR SNOW storm, those pesky little TUMBLEWEEDS always show up

and STICK themselves into the situation!  Such party poopers, like party pooping  

all over this beautiful view!

I can't remember having this bad of a snow storm before.  Electricity was on, then off, on, then off.

 Cattle HATE blowing NORTH winds.  To get away from it they walk SOUTH.

Yes, they walk and walk and walk.

(they are in front of my house)
The wind blew so hard it swept the field across the road.

When the cattle decide to walk, they can walk and end up 20 miles from home.

This one bunch of ours ONLY WALKED 8 MILES from where they are supposed to be.

Poor Mr. Browndirt has spent the last 3 days out in the unrelenting snow/blizzard storm trying to

keep the cattle rounded up.

It is nearly dusk here and he is still out in the cold escorting another bunch of misbehaving 

cattle to their perspective fields.

AND

Naturally, all our hired help has gone to Mexico for the holidays.

I know THE MR. is plum tuckered out and I will

have a nice pot of homemade stew and cornbread waiting for him when he gets in.

Goober dog is ready for some serious snuggle time with his daddy tonight as well.  In the meantime,

Goober snuggles in his heated bed upstairs with me.......

While I sewed up a STORM on these.
