Today is a snow day here in the lone star state. I have not seen snow like this for 7 years. It is beautiful and as the large half dollar size flakes fell, it was a pretty site to see. This is a picture looking out my studio window at the homes across the street covered in snow. The purple pansies are in my front garden. They looked so pretty against the background of pure white snow!
