I read a blog about the weather from somebody and they were wondering how the winter was going to be in their area. Well, in some areas there will be snow for sure and right now there is snow in Jackson Mississippi. Now that is unusual and it could fall in Georgia and Alabama as well the way this weather is acting this new year of 2013.

We are having temps of freezing each morning then by noon time the sun is shining until late evening but it doesn't get above 50 degrees to often which still feels great being outside without worry of being bitten by mosquitoes like it was a few months ago. There was no snow in my area of Texas for Christmas so I think we won't have any for Easter either like we had a few years ago.

Most people never get the chance to enjoy their patio for one reason or another but I think this year that will change.and I will be glad to sit out in the early mornings while the puppy get to run around in the back yard and enjoy herself being outside. My front yard is not fenced in and she has to be on a leash or she goes everywhere she pleases and don't care what you say to her about coming back. She has been to puppy training school and knows sit, stay, no, leave it and stop as commands but still need to have command school now that she has made one year old on 1 January.

When she hears barking she wants to go in that direction but all the dogs near me are much bigger than she is and there is a pit bull right next door now but my fence is solid and he can't get out. She likes to come outside and play in the little grass I got left in the back yard with the sun shinning. I guess the weather will be good and no tornadoes this year like it was last year almost in every state in the US.

I guess with the temps like they are it cuts down on the electric bill for now because we don't turn the heat up very much at night but once we start to get up then it's turned up a notch to warm the whole house for a few minutes. My electric bill hasn't been very much so far and that's a good thing too. I been thinking about getting the solar panels installed but I'm not sure if they should go on the roof or in the yard ground level like I see quite a few here that way. Oh well I'll make that decision pretty soon and depending on my tax return and how much I get back if any.

We are still in a drought condition for now and only had a couple inches of rain lately so most people are still hoping for more rain especially the farmers and ranchers to have water for their animals and crops.
