Snow and Ice in Dallas

I grew up loving the snow and ice what’s not to love, it generally means, no school, building snowmen and hot cocoa. As an adult snow and ice are not quite so enjoyable.

When you know there is storm coming you must be prepared, groceries on hand, flash lights with fresh batteries maybe even a space heater or two. But the responsibility doesn’t end there, I have several trees and plants outside that must be cared for.

The children worked quickly with me, the day before the storms arrived to cover our fig tree and the grapes and blueberries. The weather had been warm enough that the fig tree had begun to bloom. With gentle care and protection, our Brown Turkey Fig will make thru the Dallas blizzard of 2011!


The one who guards a fig tree will eat its fruit,
and whoever protects their master will be honored.
Proverbs 27:18
