Weather

We've been experiencing extreme cold weather in the last few days.  The 30's for temps have really caused me a good heating bill for this month.  It's been predicted that we will have sleet, snow along with freezing rain today.  As yet we've only had the rain, but with the temps we are experiencing, I'm sure tonight will show us some ice.  This is the time of year I always dread, because of the extreme cold here in the Texas areas.  I much rather see warm temps than this cold.

Gas Pipeline Explosion

A gas pipeline explosion around 9:30 am November 14, 2013, caused a large fire, resulting in evacuation of school students and surrounding residents near the town of Milford, TX.  

 It is said to be owned by Chevron and that there wasn't any people unaccounted for.  If you notice there are several civilian vehicles near the flames which have burned along with the local area.  I took these pictures from the TV screen so they may not show good detail.  I am doing a follow up on the fire in the next few minutes to give you more information.

You can see this couple have a great idea for life in Texas.  I love having fresh eggs from yard chickens, but many towns in Texas won't allow you to have chickens.

Crop Duster

Ever see a crop duster flying over fields and spraying the crops? Here's a good view of one.

What a thrill it is to see our flag flying and know how much it means to our heritage and history.

A Part of Texas

Above you see just a few of the things that makes up a small part of our great state.  Texas, is one of the best places to visit and more importantly live.  I have been a native Texan all my life and am proud of my heritage here in the "Lone Star State".
