The leaves are turning the past few days. We had a freeze last night with the temperature dropping to 27 degrees. This morning as the breeze blew, leaves were coming down like snowfall. Very pretty today with temps in the upper 60's. I didn't let my water drip last night and guess what? Yep, it "froze"! Not supposed to do that here. We came here to get away from that. I knew it was going to be below freezing and just forgot to drip the water. Tonight it will be in low 40's and then much warmer the next week or so. I will learn. Pay attention to the weather man! Sometimes he knows what he is talking about. I guess if I find I can remember, I can get a heat tape. So far, very few are wrapping their hoses or using heat tapes. Temperatures around Kerrville & Ingram are always a few degrees cooler than San Antonio, about fifty miles south east of here, where the TV station we listen to is. It didn't freeze there last night. They do give a breakdown for the Kerrville area though, so I can't blame the weather man.
I know my pictures are not very good ( I need that new iPhone 4s ) and really don't show the colors. Probably to far away. I decided to use them just to show you the "lay of the land". These pictures were taken between here and Kerrville. There is a valley between where I took the picture from and the trees in the background. Our park is on west of here in the valley.
This has not been an active week for us. Sharon has had a sinus infection and didn't feel well for four or five days. Took her meds and is doing better today. We just stayed around here pretty close this weekend. Doing all the things you do at home. Cleaning, laundry, fixing meals, etc. Maybe next week we will venture out a little more. Can't believe it is almost Thanksgiving. There was a bell ringer at the grocery store Wednesday. They were delivering the Christmas tree to Rockefeller Center this morning. Time marches on!
Talk to all of you guys later. Happy Thanksgiving!! Be careful on Black Friday!
Here are a couple of good pictures. This is Turtle Creek in Kerr County. By Marilyn Knight.
Great pictures taken from "Texas Hill Country" posts on Facebook. Below, on the Guadalupe River.
