Christmas 1987. This Longhorn Steer belongs to us and that's our Ranch House and out buildings between his horns, it didn't snow last winter, but on the first day of April, after the Bluebonnets had come up, we had a snowstorm that left four inches of snow on the ground. Our first year in the country has been full of surprises, most of them delightful like the April snowstorm, and some like the morning our dog got sprayed by a Skunk, that were anything but delightful! Now that these experiences are behind us, even the unpleasant ones are fun to talk about!
