While she hunted Saturday PM I had a walkabout. Having below 0 temps a few days before, the smaller streams had some ice that was 4 or 5 inches thick. Even with a heavy sky they made a starkly pretty picture with moss and wilting rhododendron. Have any to add? “When Tyranny becomes Law, Rebellion becomes Duty” Colossians 3:17 (New King James Version) "And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him."

Hasn't been too bad this past week, pretty nice weather actually. Originally Posted by New_2_99s Can't really tell from this bad photo, but we are covered up in Hoar Frost !
