| Evergreen Fingers (3/26/15) |
I know that EVERYONE (including me) is TIRED of WINTER... BUT--since this is my journal, I have a couple more posts to publish regarding our crazy winter this year. SO--I apologize in advance....
We had 3 winter storms the week of Feb. 16---with the Ice Storm on the 21st was the worst one (causing lots of damage to our area). BUT--after the 21st, winter was not finished with us yet (and still may not be). There were two more storms the next week. Luckily, the one on the 24th missed us.. BUT--we did get SNOW (not much ice, thank goodness) on the 26th...
SO--today, I'll share some pictures from that day for you... It wasn't much snow but it was pretty since it covered up all of the damage from the storm on the 21st. For a few hours, WHITE covered the area and helped us forget most of the damage done around us...
Hope you enjoy the pictures (even if I'm showing snow and NOT Spring today)... Click on them for enlargements.

| This is the picture I was taking... This is one of our Redbud Trees with a round flowerbed below. See the Daffodil sticking up on the right???? |

| I love seeing the way the snow was clinging to the trees. Pretty, huh? |

| Our huge Icicle on one side of the house (caught in one of our windchimes); The temperatures stayed below freezing for over a week --so each storm just added more and more to the ground/area... This icicle kept growing for a week and a half until the sun finally came out and began to melt it. It finally fell to the ground --taking the windchime with it... (Luckily, nobody was underneath when it fell...) NOTE: You can also see one of our 'dangling branches' we had to get the professionals to cut down. The branch looks like it was hitting the house --but it was not. |

| REALITY....... One of MANY dangling branches left from the Ice Storm on 2/21; I marked the breakage with a star... We had to get these professionally taken down ---so----- that damaging ice storm cost us a big batch of money!!!! But--we were luckier than some. |
 |
| Our house the morning of 2/26; I marked the tree shown in the previous photo with a star --so that you'll see why we had to get that branch taken down (and several others)! |
Well---that was our Snow on 2/26.... It was pretty until the melting started... Then --all of the sticks and junk from the storm appeared again!!!! YUK.
BUT--the good news is that as of 3/22----we finally have our yard back to 'almost' normal!!!!! AND Spring has come and we have flowers blooming... SO--all is GOOD here....
Thanks for making it through another winter post.... At least, this one was prettier than the 2/21 Ice Storm photos. Let's just hope we don't have anymore frigid weather this year... We 'usually' have a frost in early April ---so I'm holding my breath --hoping that we get spared this year..
Hugs,
