A Vineyards Winter

 

 

We arrived in Grapevine on the 16th and nestled into site 35 at the Vineyards Campground. This time of year in north Texas isn't the most picturesque and this site is devoid of anything green. To make the best of it though on a 65 degree evening, here's the chef, adorned in his finest dinner clothes, working tirelessly in his kitchen. We got a new grill, stand, and lawn chairs at Camping World and it seemed the perfect time to cook up some really nice fillets and enjoy the sunset.

 

 

And a shot of the beautiful sunset reflected in the side of the Flying Scotsman as I grilled.

 

Then the rains began, turning the nice red sand into this swamp of red goo. Good thing we hadn't planned to use the fire pit for the barbee!

Then Monday the 23rd the temperature began to drop and by the time we got up the freezing rain and sleet had really transformed the landscape.

The prediction is for it to remain below freezing for at least 40 hours so we are settling into our comfy cabin on the snowy Lake Grapevine at least until tomorrow.

Actually there are a surprising number of rigs here at the lake in spite of the weather conditions and people are out taking pictures of the drastic change in the Texas landscape.
