Icy Webs.

Looking out our window this morning and we found

these 2 icicle webs. Obviously there was a good sized

spider web there that we never noticed. Now with

the ice, it stands out. Nature adapting for the Season.

Spring Dreaming.

The cold, the bitter, through your bones, can't get warm cold continues. Extreme Weather Alerts and Announcements were issued last Friday, February 1st. This is now Day 10. And honestly, this needs to go away! And not come back!!

To keep our minds off the snow and the icy cold, we've been keeping very busy with purging, donating, getting items ready for inclusion in our Antique Mall Booth, working on our upcoming Summer Music Festival, I've been catching up on case notes for my counselling clients, reading new books from Christmas, and finally, dreaming, dreaming, dreaming about Spring! I have made a veggie patch plan, am working on where I'd like to plant more perennials, and thinking about pots and planters. Last year, we put as much of our gardening tools into our little potting shed. This Spring, I'd like to get it organized and thinking about what that would look like. And finally, we have some landscaping to finish and part of that is installing our front arbor gate where we hope to create a little parking area for guests. Ideally, if this works, they would pull up to the front of our house, which has a much more welcoming view than the side of our house. They would park, stroll through the arbor gate and trek down a short path to our front door. Dreaming of plants and bushes, maybe even roses to make the path enjoyable and fragrant. A bit of work for this dream.

Hope you are staying warm and maybe dreaming in a bit of Spring Dreaming while the landscape outside swirls in a icy cold, snowy weather pattern. Hope you'll share what is keeping you sane and positive during this polar vortex ....

Icy Hill.

After crossing the bridge, my dh showed

me the hill he drives up each day, even

when the weather is snowy. And on this

day, you could see it was icy. Thankfully,

he listened to my pleading and we turned

at the lights and took another route that

is not as steep. Crazy he is, my guy!! I

couldn't drive up that each day ~ scary.

Frosty Morning.

Look what was on top of our car 

sunroof window the other morning.

So pretty! So cold!!

This was on the weekend, when the sky

was blue & the grass was green. We

were wearing light clothes, no coats.

And sandals on our feet. So warm.

The frost was a shock. But today was

worse. I'll post pictures tomorrow of

the white world we woke up to. A big

surprise that was not welcome at all.

How was your world today?

Was it green still? Or white?
