-updated February 12 2004-
I have all sorts of beads from yesterday that I'm excited about... I'll post them in the next few days, once the sun comes out and I can get some nice pictures of them. Its just cold and dark here again today, and there are rumours of possible sleet and/or snow tomorrow. That will close Austin down for certain..Not that we'll get a lot of snow - a few flakes will close the town in no time. It was a real culture shock when I moved here from Chicago (a hundred years ago)...I was used to lots of snow growing up, so when I saw Texas kids getting excited at a few flakes in the sky I thought they were nuts...And then I found out that it snows in Austin on average every 11 years, and most kids who grew up here have never experienced snow in any quantity before, so of course they were excited. Brian and I went through a fabulous winter blizzard in NY this year, and at 34, it was his first snowstorm. He loved it...but I don't think he'd enjoy months and months of it..He's a southern boy and I'm happy to live in the heat rather than the cold, so I don't think we'll be relocating anytime soon...
