Ozarks Ice Storm in February

On Monday night, the Ozarks were blanketed in several inches of rain, sleet and then more freezing rain. It meant that we lost our electricity for several days, but it also provided us with a chance to take the camera outdoors and capture some of the beauty!

The apple trees didn't fair too badly. (Some of the other trees lost a LOT of limbs.)

The frozen pond below our house

A fence... heavily laden with ice!

Some of the horses who live here. Some of them liked the ice, and some of them didn't!

Ahhh! Horsey "ice angels"!

Year in Review, Part 25

Winter Wonderland

In Missouri, those who like winter have to take what they can get! Above: Sam (14) is making the best of a dusting of snow with his little friends, Michelle and David.

Ice storms seems to be a theme for 2007 - we started and ended the year with one!
Thankfully, the December ice storm wasn't nearly as bad as the January storm, and we managed to keep our electricity and most of our tree tops.
