The storms have passed. That was awful. It was so cold I had to put on long pants.

Big storm today. First a beautiful 75 degrees, then the front hit. Heavy thunderstorms. Immediate twenty degree drop in temperature. High wind up to 50 mph so far. Snow north of us in Dallas. Put up the window awnings, closed the bedroom slide, and hunkered down in the coach till this thing passes.

Rigs come and go. Some stand out. This one stands out. It’s sixty feet long (we’re forty). We didn’t know there was such a thing as a sixty foot coach. It’s not a pusher it’s a puller, so it’s got that semi-truck nose on it. Peterbilt front end. Four slides. He has a matching trailer but he had to leave it home because it won’t fit here. I can’t imagine it would fit anywhere except maybe a NASCAR infield. The coach itself doesn’t even fit here. Not much of a turning radius with that wheelbase. He left tire tracks over the sand and grass at every corner on the way in. Sixty feet long. Flames all over. $100,000 matching trailer. 30,000 pound towing capacity. I feel so inadequate.

Our first oleander flower since December. It’s March. Spring is springing.
