It was a whole new world to me initially There are 4 seasons. Drive on the right side and not the left side of the road. Unless it is multiway switching, push up the wall switch to turn the light on. What else...................... People are the same when it comes to family values, etc. etc. ..... Come, share with me...... as time goes.

It was Federal Holiday - Memorial Day, observed on the last Monday of May. It was a nice sunny day, not so hot. The following are pictures taken at the Dumas park, at the memorial serve.
Names of soldiers who have died while serving in the military.
American Legion Color Guard
Mike doing his part as the bagpiper.
More names on the monument.
A permanent display in the park that nobody can miss is a A7 jet fighter.
This was the first time I accompanied Mike to a funeral of a member of the American Legion. There should be 3 gun shots. I missed videoing the 1st gun shot. Then the bugling and lastly the bagpiping by Mike.
It snowed last night! And it was officially spring last Sunday 14 March. Someone told me that it snowed in May one year. So we will see if it would happen this year. By 5 pm, the snow the sun has melted most of the snow away.

It snowed again last night. This picture was taken at 9:47 am.
It was only a week ago when we had snow storm. And yesterday, it snowed again! This time the door could be opened because the snow only fall on surfaces, unlike last week they are everywhere including the shaded areas. Last time the car didn't have much snow on it. The wind blew them off. This time the car and the trees was covered!
Snow everywhere!
I am amazed by the icicles. They are like stalactites in a cave, except that the icicles are frozen water!
Highest temperature would be 36 deg F at 3 pm today. It was good to see the sun even though it was glaring. It would take a few days before all is melted. I hope they melt away quickly and the water get sucked up quickly by the dry ground!
Snow melting on the roof of a store house belonging to a resident of the street.
The warning and then the real thing. The snow storm started midnight on Wednesday 27 January until 6 am Central Standard Time today.
There was only the netting in the back door and the snow had gotten in!
As for the front door, there were snow between the netting and the glass panel!
I could only open the door a tiny bit, enough for me to measure the amount of snow that has accumulated - 10 inches!
Called Roger and jokingly told him that we are trapped in the house! There was no intention of going anywhere. The ground and the road were covered with inches of snow. Roger answered that he and his son had just helped a car on the road, and would come to shovel away the snow to our front door!
I like the picture of father and son. They looked cute. Dad wore the orange hat and son wore the matching orange gloves!
