Lorena took this picture a little before 10 am this morning in Granbury at my favorite coffee bar. I had to wait a few minutes for the store to open while Lorena went antique shopping. When they finally unlocked the door, it was hard to decide whether to stay there, enjoy the sun, and read my book or go in and order my usual cup of coffee. In the end, I went inside, but am amazed that that is even a decision to consider on January 6. Sun at this time of year where I grew up and lived most of my life in the Pacific Northwest as a rarity indeed. Of course, Texas can get just as cold or colder than the Willamette Valley, but it is nice to have the sun come out in the mix unlike winter in Oregon where there are mostly just clouds and damp. There are trade-offs in all this and I honestly love both places.
