Ice Storm San Antonio Style

We have recovered from the ice and the roads are open. Wanted to send this picture of a rose in my yard.

The pot was under a drip off the roof. Would you believe the rose is still hanging on now that the ice has melted.

My Christmas cactus is gone and most of the ivy is black. My neighbor lost about half of his bushes - they were so heavy with ice that the branches broke.

We were without power only for very short times. The kids were happy as we had all the schools closed for 2 days.

I did little work on the computer because a house full of bored people can present many interruptions and the off again on again power was frustrating.

It was funny watching all the customers at the store. They bought water and flashlights and batteries and munchies. They almost became violent over the small amount of fire wood that we had for sale. Most of them were friendly and up beat looking forward to a day off. A few were extremely nervous and therefore angry and rude. There were complaints as we began to run out of items. The delivery trucks could not get to us because the highways were closed.

We have rain again today but the temp is supposed to stay above freezing at least here in town. As the wise man said - This too will pass.

until next time smile
