You know you're in Texas when...

Here it is...December 21...the first day of winter and 4 days until Christmas. Yes, it is kind of cold outside...actually it feels VERY cold. The temperature is 32, and the wind is blowing really hard out of the north causing a windchill of 21 degrees. But, you know you're in Texas when...

A few minutes ago I was busy in the kitchen when I heard a lawnmower. Yes...you read correctly...a lawnmower! Can you believe it? The man who lives next door was mowing his back yard! And...to make it even more "cute" he was weariing a striped toboggan on his head, and I'm not sure, but maybe he is wearing a ski mask, too. I told you it is cold out there. Or maybe he's just embarrassed he waited so long to mow his lawn. :)

Whatever the reason, I felt I had to blog about this. I hope you find it as interesting as I did.
