February 15, 2021 – Austin Winter Storm, Looks Pretty, Feels Terrible, No Power 14+ Hours

Sheila and I’ve been through 2 weeks without power in Galveston, after Hurricane Alicia, and I went through Hurricane Carla in Houston over 3 days in ’61, but this we-ain’t-built-for-it single digit cold and below zero wind shield has literally shut down the entire Texas power grid!

Uh, suggestion powers that be – let’s rethink our power grid, now please 😊

I dumbly left out some cacti, thinking, well, in the desert, temps get lower than this – uh, not a good idea either way. Hopefully these tiny plants’ ll still make ❤️

Below’s my screenshot of our morning temp, lol! Gonna be single digit again tonight!

I’m used to seeing water do this (Houston, Galveston, Austin, Florida) – but snow, wow!

Gonna let this go for now, power running out on our phones etc.

Take care everyone!

  I wasn’t sure when to stop but my own waves of self, conscious of the need to rest joined the earth before me, an image shaped by pigments from itself.

• My 1st blog post since August this year (2025) – Like starting new!December 18, 2025
  “My plan, my hope, is to keep this, my original layin, produce a new 2nd similar layin but add a content color layin; keep it; then repeat the steps with the two formative layers and see what finished product I might produce – 3 works total”

Thanks again, everyone! 😊
