A Change of Scenery

The snowdrops came up just in time to get snowed on the next day. We will be seeing warmer temperatures and more green during our trip. The first weekend is supposed to be in the 90s F.

 Ward and I are leaving soon on a trip to Texas. We will be visiting with a few friends and enjoying some touristy things along the way. We also plan to check out where we used to live to see how much things have changed. We've already figured out that our favorite neighborhood restaurants are out of business. We're sad about that, but are armed with a list of the best places to get Texas barbecue. 

I hope to be checking in here to share our adventures, but we'll see how often the opportunity occurs to do that. I will share some of our trip with you when we get back for sure. 

Now back to packing. It seems that we have several appointments between now and when we leave, so I'd better make hay while the sun shines.

Until next time...

    Pretty snowdrops. My daffodils look droopy now since the snow got them too.

    1. Thanks. We didn't get as much snow as you did, so things are suffering mostly from the cold temperatures. But spring flowers usually spring back.

    1. Thanks, jj. While I will enjoy the BBQ, my husband is really looking forward to it. He's much more of a carnivore than I am.

    2. He can eat on behalf of us, you can eat just for you, lol!

  6. Your snowdrops are very pretty!

    90 degree weather sounds wonderful! I hope you have a great trip and get to enjoy lots of great Texas foods! Hopefully your food plans include Shipley donuts!

  7. Sadly, I'm not going anywhere warm any time soon but at least, I can pretend it's warm. I hope you will enjoy your trip.

    Have a lovely day.

    1. We were uncomfortably warm yesterday, all the while my sister in ME sent me pictures of snow.
      I hope you have some warm weather soon. But not hot. :)

  8. Not sure if that's your A to Z theme reveal or if your direct link failed.
    Looking forward to the challenge this year.
