It snowed in central and south Texas last night. That’s a rare occurrence but it was even more unusual that it happened this early in the season. Our ash tree is quite laden with snow on its limbs.

An Early Freeze
Sam bent over to pick up the newspaper, falling on the ice. Lola, a Labrador Retriever, had escaped her back yard again and interpreted Sam’s flailing arms as an invitation to play.
He rose to his feet only to have Lola jump on him from behind, knocking him down. Lola thought this was great fun, this new game of Knock Sam Down. She played it several times before her owner whistled for her return.
Sam tried to get up, discovering his jacket had frozen to the ice patch. This is not how I thought today would go, Sam thought, shivering.

This is one skinny door. Due to the configuration of the hallway, I couldn’t get a full, front photograph.
