Ice Storm Beauty....

A real photo of a goldfinch on an icy branch, to me looks a bit like a Japanese print.... The colors... lovely.

And Again.....

The storm ended sunday, Dec. 22 and then the deep freeze began. Dec 23 gave us the frozen world of bending and broken trees. Power out sunday am to tuesday at 330 pm. Expected temps will not rise about freezing anytime soon and should be well below zero tonight. Enough!!! I get it, the extremes of weather must be recognized somewhere, everyday! Is that it??

We are off to Mass. tomorrow for the holiday gathering of the youths. Stay tune for the next installment of the dancing mini people...

Northeast Ice Storm....Again

We awoke to the sound of rain and the temperature below freezing. This is what happend, thick coating of ice on the weakling birches. Now they are on the house roof, in the driveway and the power generator has been on since before dawn. This could be along one. The news is telling of the 400 contractors from around the region descending on our area. Without a generator, I can see how people cope, I couldn't. This storm will be historic, like the one in 1998.

Minus Fifteen

Nice bright sun, giving us power. Minus fifteen degrees does not stop the deer from looking for grass.
