Ice & Sledding Pictures

We have had 2 days of wintery weather in our area.

This is unusual for us. My kids have been rather excited.

I have to admit, I have too. I love snow, it is so beautiful

and clean. This weekend however, we have had more freezing

rain and ice than snow. People in our community are dealing

with downed power lines, no power, and damage from

fallen tree limbs. We have been lucky so far.

We went out this morning so the girls could go sledding.

While we were out I snapped several ice pictures.

Can you see the beautiful, but heavy ice? This pine tree has

lost several limbs due to the weight of the snow.

The girls are bundled in several layers to try and stay warm.

Sledding is lots of fun, and lots of work.

Going down is the easy (and scary) part.

The climb back up is the hard part.

Another shot of ice covered branches.

Snow fall this morning!!

We have had lots of fun today.

I will try and get back to posting deals ASAP.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend.

Ice Pictures

Last week we were susposed to get snow.

We have been experiencing extreme cold but the

snow was lacking.

Sunday afternoon the older girls and I

went out of town to exchange a couple of

Christmas presents. I could not resit stopping

and getting a couple of pictures.

Isn't this ice just beautiful.

All along the roadside we saw these massive icicles.

It was so cold but the girls were nice enough

to let me get a couple of pictures.
