dallas got some snow this year, possibly even more than we had in philly. this darn global warming! dallas had 4 seasons, but fall , winter, and spring are short. seems we always had a week-long ice storm where everything closed down. there just aren't things like snow plows and sand trucks. and of course, more than a fair share of lunatic drivers who think they can drive on ice. and itty bitty women driving hummers! but the people are warm and friendly! there's air conditioning everywhere, and life is at a good pace. and i love the land. bucks county, PA, where i am now is also a beautiful area. lots of fields and hills, and flowering bushes and beautiful fall foliage. but people are in a hurry. no time to talk, don't need new friends, they are set in their ways and like it. i made friends here through the quilt board. crazy? yes, but it saved my sanity! it was just a huge culture shock! but 90% of my family is in texas and that's where my heart is.
