Why there is Snow

After having record setting lows here in south texas I have found the purpose of snow. It is to cover the ugly, yukyness of the dead, wilting, dying plants. Here are some before and after shots of my yard. Please note,only two weeks separate the before and afters.

  1. That's a good point! :) You live in Texas though! So do I, but we seldom get snow here in Houston! Poor little gorgeous plants!

  2. What a difference two weeks makes! And I think you're right, a little snow on top would make them much prettier.

  3. We are having very little snow here and I miss it, and I miss cross country skiing every day. Last year the snow banks were above my head - yup - I'd say we had the ugliness goood and covered!

  5. I live in Denver where we rarely get snow cover in winter. Most people who care about what their yards look like in the winter here aim for pretty branch structures, deep bark colors, plenty of evergreens, and we cut back anything that looks icky. That said, my yard looks just like yours!
