During winter the Avocado leaves become very crisp, and when crumbled in the hands the scent is kind of like licorice.

Excerpts from the Album and song of the same title
by Kate Bush, c 1989
The Sensual World
Mmh, yes.
…Stepping out of the page into the sensual world
Stepping out…..
to where the water and the earth caress
and the down of a peach says mmh, yes
…when I could wear a sunset, mmh, yes
…You don’t need words…
Stepping out of the page into the sensual world…

Out in traffic the effects of the ice storm are not so pretty.

Wildorado Wind Ranch
Creating fields of renewable energy themselves, a herd of cattle leisurely does what cows do best on a warm summer day, twenty five miles west of Amarillo, just outside Adrian, Texas at the Wildorado Wind Ranch where there are 70 wind turbine generators spanning the horizon. Each turbine measures 450 ft. from ground to the tip of one of three blades. Wind will generate power to parts of eight southern States: Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Louisiana.

Our windy December garden still has a few frost-bitten Cosmos.

I have yet to see a tornado in Texas since we moved there, yet here is the first one I’ve ever seen, about to touch down in Airdrie, near Calgary Alberta while we’re on holidays.
Watching it form is surreal, and though it’s not far away I don’t feel in any danger. It formed a perfect funnel then I watched it pull back again, spawning a skinny long string-like tornado, then dissolve.
The associated clouds are ominous and dark in contrast to the sunny neighborhood where I’m standing. I learned later this afternoon that the tornado touched down in a farmer’s feild for a few moments.

Everything in the garden looks 10 times as beautiful with water on it.
