Oh Idaho. . .

I love the weather in Texas.   Especially this time of year.

I love not having to shovel snow or deal with driving in it.

I love that my power was less than $200 last month.

I love that I was sweating last week in Canton.

But I do have to say I miss the beautiful scenery of Idaho.

The street lamps and the snow the rooftops make this photo look almost storybook like
