picture update

Still no electricity, and it's day 6. Isn't life exciting! We don't have it nearly as bad as many in the area -- we have wood heat, so at least the house stays (fairly) warm, and we still have running water. 

Oh, btw, another storm is coming through this weekend with 6-8 inches of snow and sleet projected. Hahaha. 

And totally randomly, girls, I bought new black knee-high boots last night. I didn't realize until a little while ago that they have four inch heels. Sweet! I've always been sorry I gave that other four-inch pair away a couple years ago.

See the purty bushes by the front porch!

My car became a giant icecube. Only the driver's door is actually unstuck  and openable, and that after considerable effort.

Before I went back to work, I spent large portions of the day huggling  Hagen (who has grown considerably, no?)

I like this picture.

We're losing a lot of the pines. =\ This one hasn't snapped....yet.

Evenings are spent thusly.

Nope, I won't explain how we got icicles like this. This was taken just before massive branches fell down and demolished the whole thing.

It looks like snow, but don't be fooled. Solid ice! Goldy and her part-husky bloodline love it.

Incredible.

Just a minor look at the mess in our front yard.

I helped chop up trees that had fallen across the road.

And some poor trees just fell over, roots-up.
