Ice Storm

We had an ice storm that left thousands of people without power. We were very blessed and only lost power about 6 times for a few minutes each time.


This is our weeping cherry tree [it's weeping because it doesn't grow cherries! :) ].


The trees out back were so heavy laden that they were leaning against our roof.


K. took the picture below while we were driving to a friend's house. I know it's not as clear due to the speed at which we were traveling, but I love the colors and the composition.


We did have a bit of excitement. The kids noticed a fire across the road from us. We called the authorities who sent people. We watched it quite a lot to make sure that the fire or sparks didn't spread. It didn't, but we did get to explain the different color of fires to the kids. It turned blue for a while.
