Winter Wonderland

Update: Our power went out last night about 1:30 am. It came back on (Praise God!) around 4:00 am. In between, there were 4 of us crammed into a queen size bed. Two of whom had fevers..... But we have power this morning, and for that, we are very grateful!


NOT! Whoever made up that song must have been suffering from cabin fever. There is no such thing as a winter "wonder"land. Hell freezing over and landing in our front yard might be more like it.

Ok, ok. So it hasn't been that bad. But it's still just nasty outside! It rained all day. Then the rain froze. Then it sleeted. Then rained some more. And now it's freezing again.

But I got some cool pictures!


Our neighbor's tree.








The girls woke us up screaming, "Icicles! Icicles!"







Our grass. You might not be able to tell, but each blade of grass was individually coated in ice. It is a pretty cool sight to see.







My (hopefully) sturdy sugar maple in the backyard.







There was about 3/4 inch of ice on each branch!






This one is cool. It might look like something under a microscope slide, but it's the branches of the sugar maple set against the gray sky. Kinda artsy.
