You Want Ice Photo’s?

Yes, as promised I will provide photos of the ice. I hope you enjoy because it sure was an adventure. My backyard has a ski slope built in, just getting down it was a crash course in ice walking.

Allow me to remind you, what looks like snow is actually ice balls. We received, so they say, an inch of snow, the rest is sleet/ice.  I hope you enjoy.

Tree branches displaying their crystal coating. The ones that deposited gifts down my overalls.

Ms. Twister’s china bird feeder. To me it looks like an artifact on a stick.

The alternate bird feeder. Notice the dent in the right side. It was the only backyard survivor of the first major ice storm. A 4” diameter limb took it out.

Zebra grass plumes. Reminds me of frozen tears.

A frozen home.

I don’t think this solar light will work again until spring.

Quite simply, Mum on ice.

Pine tree’s are so resilient. They bend a great deal and can handle a huge amount of weight. When asked what tree you’d like to be, don’t forget the pine.

Fragile Mouse. Notice she does not weigh enough to break the ice. She had a hard time.

”Aren’t we going to play ball?” Shadow actually carries her ball for security, she does want you to throw it.

”Where did I put it?” Bamba left her ball in the backyard, she had to dig for hers.

Finally, our road. This was after the second plowing.

For my all effort in keeping the driveway clear and ice free, along with getting photos I was awarded… a cold.

One bottle of Theraflu later I’m on the mend. At least I can breath now and just in time for two more winter clippers.

To my friends across the pond; be safe and stay warm. Spring is coming.

Peace....
