Robin nursechick says:Robyn, this is a very south Texas look right now- we don’t get the vibrant leaf colors. We get soft hues of color- beautiful in it’s own right! No snow, but if we even enter the thought of ice in our minds, we shut down the town in anticipation of a few flurries. Today is going to be 80, so the anticipation is only a dream away. But we still put the boots and sweaters on =traditionally on good friday, grab a latte and a cranberry bliss bar, hope for cold weather and sweat while we shop!hahahaha

EPBCornell says:Quite a beautiful eclectic pick with combinations bound to get the creative gears moving “upstairs.” If this is like late November south Texas, take me there! I will walk in these woods any day. Just beautiful!

dolllady aka Pam says:Congrats on your super POD! Liz, this looks like deep South TX. all winter. Only the ash trees lose their leaves. The lake have green leaves all year, but lose brown !Dave’s in the spring.
