Icing In My Backyard

When we woke up this week to the results of an overnight ice storm it was clear we were going nowhere that day and for the first time in a long time not because of COVID-19.

Mother Natures artistry was on display with all her ice sculptures.  And my fine feathered friends seem no worse for wear.  Making sure they are fed is a top priority.

 Finally,

Happy Valentine's Day

Thanks be to God!

A Cardinal Event

Card'nal red

In the midst of icy glare

Sign of hope

~~~~~~~

This gentleman brightened my day yesterday as we were again confined to home, not because of pandemic but because of the weather.  Though the ice is lovely to see it is Mother Nature's reminder that she is in control and you have to follow her rules.  We were  fortunate that we did not lose power but we were nonetheless careful and followed "Mother's" rules.  Yes, we did!

Thanks be to God!

Powdered Sugar Snow

So this is the sum total of our winter snow this winter. . .Just a dusting and so many others are experiencing so much more.  It's almost embarrassing.  So today I wish all well!  

It's cold but this is the first moisture we've had that wasn't rain.  

There was nothing to shovel.

 And the holly stands tall

So much for the winter snow we've had so far and it's alread February!

Thanks be to God!!

Burst of Glory

A burst of glory

In the midst of the morning

Touches the deepest soul

~~~~~~~

It seems of late I've been drawn to the sunrise.  Can't tell you why.  Maybe it's because I find the early morning, even in it's quiet tranquility, an explosion of beauty can burst into my vision!  For that I am eternally grateful!

Thanks be to God!!

The Sun Still Rises

Glowing through the fog

Reflecting on the water

The sun arises

~~~^j^~~~
