I also thought for sure that the falling ice--which was SO loud--would take out our roof and that we might lose power and I was wrong on both those counts... I'm happy to be wrong sometimes.
Book club (Demon Copperhead) got postponed and an after-work hang with girlfriends got canceled. So I got home from work, dropped off At's new bank card (they lost their wallet last week), and hunkered down for an evening with Nu, Scout, and Huck (and Big A on Portal). I made a fish curry; Nu thought it was a stew: po-tay-toe, poh-tah-toe. Then an impromptu song fest with every Friday-themed song we could think of, including this one.
Pic: The backyard trees are sparkly, heavy, and creaky with ice. So pretty and a bit menacing.

I am amazed that is your backyard. It's huge!! It's beautiful too and I AM SO GLAD YOU DIDN'T LOSE POWER. The streets here have been a total mess; with a huge dump of snow followed by extreme cold, even crossing the street is a terrifying operation. So slippery! I nearly bailed several times on my walk with Rex - I had my extra-warm boots on and I didn't switch the ice spikes over to them, thinking the snow would be grippy enough. I was wrong!
People are getting excited here because we might get a half inch of snow today. (Snow is not usually so rare-- it's been a strangely un-wintry winter.) Glad you didn't lose power.
Snow is better than ice.
Snow!
Glad you didn't wipe out, Nicole. I think Rex would have rescued you, had anything happened, but still. Yes, our backyard is a wilderness as it borders a train track.
StephLove, I saw you got a dusting of snow today... I hope that made you and Beth (she's the real snow enthusiast, right?) happy!
Gillian--I so agree!
Oh, I'm so happy you have power. Some of my friends in Michigan aren't expected to get their power back turned back on until late next week! That's crazy!
