Snow in DFW Area

The weatherman said it would not start until later in the day on February 11, 2010. But I woke up to my neighbors car already having an inch of snow. Called my Pop to wish him a happy birthday and he said "How much are you supposed to get?" I answered that they they said 2-3 inches, but that it was not to have started yet so I really don't know. In the DFW and surrounding areas it ranged from 7-19 inches. We got more like 7 or 8 where I live, but that was more than enough. The locals say this has not happened in like 50 years. I took pictures while it was still on the trees. I think that us just so beautiful. By time I got home yesterday it was already off of the trees at it warmed up to 41 yesterday and the sun is out right now so hopefully most of it will be gone before the day is done.

The first four pics below are from the front of the house looking out and the rest are of my back yard. I was so worried about the Crepe Myrtle. You can see it in the picture with the utility shed. The branches usually stick straight up in the air...I was worried they would snap. I am happy to report they did not and it looks normal once again. Third from the bottom you can see at the bottom of the pic is bamboo that is snow laden. Poor Boomer, could not get to the yard the first night to do his business due to the bent over bamboo from all of the snow on it. I tried to show boomer that he could jump off the top step, but he was not having any of that...Glad to report he can now get into his back yard once again.

So, the big snow of 2010 in DFW...living history once again.

Buddhist Temples in DFW Area

On February 6, 2010 Kerry and I went to visit three Buddhist temples in the area. We started the day out at the Unity Church in Grapevine, where we had an hour of meditation. We then split up into groups so that we did not use to many cars and put more carbon in the air than was necessary. I liked this as I got to know some new people and they shared their knowledge of Buddhism with me. The whole day was very educational and amazing to see such beautiful places right here in the DFW area.

Kerry and I are very open to different beliefs and how they work with our spiritual relationship with a higher power. We talked about our little pilgrimage at the end of the day and we both agreed that our favorite part was at the temple in Irving when the monk sat and talked to our group for about 30-45 minutes. He was a lot of fun, but shared great knowledge for someone of only 36 years of age. You can see him in the orange robes second from the bottom in these pictures.

I loaded the pictures opposite of the order we visited them, but you can see see that all three are very different as they are all from different traditions of Buddhism.

Something like this brings you back to the "Many Paths, One Power" way of thinking. I do not follow any of the Buddhist Traditions, but there are aspects of their belief that I can get my head around such as creating good and bad karma. The monk talked a little about this.
