Sledding in Austin, TX

It happened again.


We had enough snow on the ground in Austin to not only make a quite respectable snow man,



... and snow angels,



...but also to try out sledding for the first time on the side of the hill that covers our underground home. Here's Samson's 3rd run.



After that, the neighbor kids came over to join the fun and we whooped it up until the sun came out about 11 am. Cocoa on the back porch rounded out a quite lovely morning.

Wait. Underground house? Must see pictures. Did you build it?

No, but we bought it in 2002 from the people who did build it in 1985. It's quirky (to say the least), but we love our 1.9 acres and low energy bills. Mowing the roof is not as fun as it might sound; luckily, Brian usually gets that chore ;o) We'll have to have you guys over sometime! I'm sure Samson & Ivan would find much to do while we relaxed over some wine & take-out....
