Ice Storm 2007

Allright, here are the pictures that I promised:



This was once the side of our pool. It now has a frozen layer of ice all the way around it.



This is the tree from across the street.



This was the fence that all the squirles used to run across. They probably skate across now!



This plant is completely encased in ice, it happened so fast that it is still green too!



I hope we won't be needing this trash can any time soon. . .



I'm almost done now. This is (was) our grass.



Last picture. This is a crepe mertyl. I think that the individual branches in ice is a very neat looking effect.

Tonight we went to my brothers court of honor. He went from the rank of Scout to 1st Class. He also got several merit badges, weather and aviation, I think. Congratulations! There were also three Eagle ranks awarded (I'm not sure if that's how you say it). I didn't know any of the boys, I really don't know any of his troop, but getting your Eagle is not easy so I will say congratulations to the three boys who got their Eagle awards. That is all I have for now, so, goodnight!

Yeah, Nathanael! And I thought we had hard water in the desert! At least our swimming pools are still wet. There are 36 line workers from our local area to aid in restoring power in your area. Some may not make it back home in time for Christmas but are willing to help others have Christmas with electricity.
