It got cold in Texas! 🥶

Aww...what gorgeous lap dog. President Musk must have paid a fortune for him.

I love to cook and tonight's cloudy and chilly weather outside called for something hot and hearty. So, I broke out the meat, poblano, and jalapeño peppers and made some pozole verde (Mexican green chili pork stew).

One of the most enjoyable public spaces I never tire of visiting-

The Fort Worth Water Gardens

You never know what you might stumble upon while hiking...like this barely two-foot tall maple sapling in radiant autumn splendor standing out like a flaming torch in a sea of ordinary dry grasses.

I'm looking forward to getting out west again. There's something magical about hiking around in Big Bend National Park.

These kids looked pretty festive celebrating Dia de los Muertos in Round Rock, Texas.
