The Ice Castle

Walking out the front door of the house this morning was hazardous to our health as you can see from the build-up of ice--yes, that's all ice. Those stepping stones are slicker than a freshly Zamboni'd skating rink. Everyone is snug in their barns, huts and shelters. Even Andy finally gave in and took shelter.

As much as I love to hang laundry on the line and and not waste energy, it will be a while until the clothes go back out on the line.

You can see how thickly the ice has built up on the Dogwood tree.
And just what do the humans do when it's so nasty outside to the point school is even canceled for the day? Why, they curl up with the critters and take a nap!
