ICE ICE BABY

So much for global warming, right?!  We have had snow and ice twice this month....in AUGUSTA!  Craziness!  The ice storm was nasty. Too dangerous outside to play. No electricity inside. It was an adventurous few days!  More than once we sat in the van on the driveway with heat blasting, movies playing, and cell phones charging!


The ice started falling late Tuesday night and continued to fall most of Wednesday. Wednesday night was awful-  I laid in bed just listening to the popping and crashing of branches. So eerie since you could really see outside - I kept getting up and trying to look out with my flashlights to see what had fallen or what was broken....Thankfully, nothing damaged the house...one broken board on the playset was all the permanent damage we ended up with. 

their was a constant stream of birds

and the beauty amongst the chaos

Thanks to our neighbors construction crew, my hard working husband, and Griffin, our yard is cleaned up and mostly back in order!  Griffin spent hours upon hours raking and hauling debris away with Brent - he was in heaven out there!  We have a few dangling  branches left and tons of pinecones in the yard, but thats it!
