Ice

It was odd. Rain that did not drip off the roof. There are going to be a lot of sticks to pick up.














When this wave of the vortex has passed. It is rather dangerous out there today.














I did not get far. Wandered out to the parking lot.














Places where there were no trees overhead.














The ice was thicker than suggested.














I was hearing things crash.














The witch hazels were still blooming, in flower cubes.














Then it began to melt fast.














For all practical purposes, it had started to rain. There was a lot of ice stuck up in those trees.

Ice can be beautiful but it is so dangerous in so many ways. Be careful out there.

Lisa fortunately all the ice melted by the end of the day and round two of ice got cancelled. If the sun comes out today I may go pick up some sticks.

Good morning Christopher: What is better than a sunny day? A sunny day after an ice storm that didn't really happen. Thank goodness. Now if only the wind would stop blowing and the temperature would rise. However, this beggar won't be choosey; at least it's a beautiful sunny day. Enjoy if you can in your neck of the woods. Gypsy

Good morning Gypsy. It is indeed a beautiful sunny day. I'm just waiting for the temperature to rise above freezing -started at 17- before I go to the ridge top garden next door and pick up sticks. I picked up my sticks yesterday. Lots of sticks.
