Yesterday, I got the majority of the materials I had planned to get to start the first part of building the recessed area in my craft room. Unfortunately, the store we went to didn't have enough of one of the boards I needed, so I'm off to a different store today to get the rest.… Continue reading Drip

Ice Blob?
I don't think this qualifies as an icicle. Whatever it technically is, it is kind of pretty. Definitely interesting.
Double Bubble
Visit From Jack Frost
Under normal circumstances, there isn't any glass in this house that manages to form ice crystals. Mostly because everything is well insulated and the indoor temps are just too much for the ice to overcome. Apparently that isn't the case today with our front glass storm door. I think it must be in part because… Continue reading Visit From Jack Frost
Feathered Ice
Of all the photos I got the other day, this is probably one of the best at the almost fully frozen stage. Almost all of the ones I took started to get too blurry by that point because of the transparency of the bubbles and the angle I was at. I don't think I will… Continue reading Feathered Ice

Ice Drops And Snow Arch
We got a nice thin layer of snow overnight and the raindrops still clinging to the trees froze. Of course I had to sneak out really quickly before I got started painting today. The little arch of snow in this made me think of how ants can create these amazing bridges and lines just by… Continue reading Ice Drops And Snow Arch
Revisiting: Iced Glass 2018
With all my time an energy focused on working on my craft room, I haven't had time, and probably won't for a while, for any photography lately. That and winter is being stubbornly uncooperative this year in giving me much to work with outside of a small burst here and there. What pretties I have… Continue reading Revisiting: Iced Glass 2018
Revisiting Icicles 2018
Today I'll be working on doing some clean up in the new space (SO much drywall dust!!) and making an attempt to close of the section under the lower landing on the stairs from the cat room. Of course, I've gotten so used to the cats being shut in a room during the day, I… Continue reading Revisiting Icicles 2018
Spiky Drip
Yesterday saw nearly all of the rest of the wiring put in. There are still a few things left to run, but it is all so close to being done. There is a chance the electrician will show today to get it all hooked up, but it might be tomorrow. It is so close to… Continue reading Spiky Drip
Frozen Fog Spikes
The frozen fog yesterday was absolutely stunning. I was very limited on my time because by the time I got my camera and got out there, the wind was picking up and starting to knock all the spikes off of everything. At one point, it looked like it was snowing with how much was falling.… Continue reading Frozen Fog Spikes
Icy Lights
Today is our annual movie, games, and great foods day. It looks like we will also be ringing in the new year with a lovely winter storm. Depending on how it tracks, we will either get more ice and yuck or we will get upwards of 6 inches of snow, so it could be interesting… Continue reading Icy Lights
Icy Blue Reflections
We didn't completely melt off last night. What is still there is getting taken care of by this morning's sun. Sadly, I don't think that melt is going to last as we have another round of, again, not just snow, but ice and sleet headed our way. I'm so glad we don't have to get… Continue reading Icy Blue Reflections
Winter Ice
Was I just complaining about not getting any winter weather? I really just meant snow. At least this ice won't get to hang around for too long as we are warming up throughout the day. I'm still battling this nasty cold thing. I just can't seem to really shake it. It is still clinging pretty… Continue reading Winter Ice
Snow & Ice – Last Winter
It's incredibly hard to believe that we STILL haven't seen any of this kind of thing this year. No snow. Only a few sprinkles of rain, so almost zero moisture of any kind. We are just now really feeling any cold and it decided to go WAY cold as we are only in the teens… Continue reading Snow & Ice – Last Winter
Drip of Ice
Frozen Tulip
Frozen Spring
We got ice yesterday. Enough to coat everything for most of the day. Sadly, that means many of my spring flowers are going to be done. The hyacinths were already almost there, but the daffodils were still going strong and one was yet to open. We froze bad enough, I have no clue if that… Continue reading Frozen Spring
Snow & Ice
I am hopefully wrapping up my work on a graphics project sometime today and will have the amazing finished project to share soon. I'm really excited about what I've been working on and that I got the chance to do it. I had honestly thought that things wouldn't really start getting crazy around here until… Continue reading Snow & Ice
Another Frozen Drop
Still Frozen
We started the day with negative wind chills and me on edge because it was the first time MC ever really drove on anything that wasn't just wet. The roads weren't horrible, but there were still patches of snow and some ice here and there, so I was kind of a wreck until I got… Continue reading Still Frozen
