Winter Comes to Texas

Winter Comes to Texas

As I navigated the two-lane road I was careful to go slow ...“Driving Miss Daisy” slow. The first car that I passed in a ditch appeared to have been there for awhile because at least an inch of snow had started to pile on it. The second car I passed had spun out leaving visible tire marks across the road and embankment as it slid and landed backside into a utility pole. With help on the scene, I said a quick prayer for the driver and moved on.

As I gingerly sidestepped my way into the field I was careful to not crush any blooms as I looked for the perfect composition. The white skies that had stuck around all day hinted at a possible chance that the sun might break through. At one point, I looked over at my friend, and told her that we just might luck out and get a pop of sunshine.

In the middle of a dirt road, I watched tree branches sway in the wind and listened to the chorus of birds sing to each other. Other times in the very same spot, the air is hot and there is not a hint of a breeze. But on every visit, different birds sit atop the same old dead tree that has become my favorite spot for bird watching.
