Snow On The Mountain
Snow On The Mountain
Perhaps like me you travel Winter’s Mill Parkway regularly. If so, you may have noticed a pretty flower blooming along the guardrails. Snow-onthe- Mountain (Euphorbia marginata) graces us with its presence when most everything else is dry and faded. This tall wildflower is showy from August to October. We don’t often have snow and we’re in the hills not the mountains, but the common name of this beauty comes from the pretty white tops of the plant. The actual flowers are inconspicuous, but they are surrounded by white petal-like bracts and pale green leaves edged in white. 09/22/2022 12:00 AM

Flooding prompts disaster declaration
Flooding prompts disaster declaration
Heavy rains through Texas last week caused flooding, particularly in the Dallas area, prompting Gov. Greg Abbott to issue a disaster declaration for 23 affected counties. Texans who were affected by the rain, which dumped more than 10 inches in Dallas, are encouraged to file insurance claims with their providers and to complete the voluntary Self Reporting Damage Survey issued by the Texas Department of Emergency Management by visiting damage.tdem. texas.gov. The survey helps the state identify damage across Texas to gain an understanding of what areas were affected during the recent severe weather. 09/01/2022 12:00 AM
