From bad to worse (weather-wise)

You know it’s cold when the stream freezes!

I can’t decide if I see an image in the ice…do you?

Birdwatching

If you think Mourning Doves are dowdy, brown-colored birds, think again! 🙂

Proceed with caution

The steps leading off our sunroom to the back yard have become treacherous! They are completely encased in a ripply sheet of  ice due to the fact that they lie underneath the main house overhang and as the snow melts off the roof, it hits the staircase and freezes.

Salt and sand are the obvious solution, but before I did that, I needed today’s photo! 🙂

Things that make me go hmmm

If bicycles are called bikes, why aren’t icicles called ikes?
