snow? in Brenham?

yep, that's what they call this white stuff falling from the sky...

let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

when mom and i were putting up the Christmas tree in my newly finished front room/office/sunroom/Christmas room, we were humming songs like "O Christmas Tree", "Santa Clause is Coming to Town" and "Let it Snow". little did we know the very next day it would ACTUALLY snow. in Brenham, Texas. where it maybe snows once every ten years (that might be an exaggeration, but in my lifetime of living in Brenham, it snowed twice when i was a kid, that i can remember, and once as an adult).

check it out. this is the back of the house when i got home from work. after i took these pictures it snowed a lot more before ceasing.

front of the house. hey, notice the two newly built windows! :-) and that mound that some say looks like a compost pile, that used to be a very large tree.

after it turned dark. pretty, huh? see my Christmas tree all lit up?

Here was my closet. Actually, this is the closet in the second bedroom, but my closet looked just like it, except the wood was brown and covered with old canvas wallpaper stuff. But basically it consisted of a hole in the wall with one closet rod and a shelf above that and wood and nails and a yucky musty smell.

and this is my closet NOW, after drywall and a "closet system" i bought at Lowes. It consists of a shelf thing and three rods.

it's still small, mind you, but at least it's finished and clean and organized and doesn't smell like old wood. :-)
