FFF-Melt

Ha Ha, Sarah!  Great topic for FFF this week!  So glad to see all the ice and snow melted/melting away!  Yes, after all the ice we got a BUNCH of snow!  I didn't take any pictures of the snow~sadly, it just wasn't as interesting to me as the ice.  :O|

Here is a picture of the ice covered branches that was playing stubborn, and not melting, while all the other branches were dropping the ice off by the handfulls!

This picture of the ice melting made me think of sticks of rock candy, or beautiful crystals!

In this picture, you can actually see the ice that is in the process of falling off of the branch.  Wish I could have gotten a picture of the drips falling off of the icicles!

See the way the ice is cracking and breaking off of the branches?

Here is a picture of one of the VERY large pine trees that line our driveway. I reached to pull off one of the pine needles, and a huge bunch came away with the icicles.  These trees were destroyed, as the tops of the trees were broken from the weight of all the snow.

Glad to see the ice storm gone.  I have still been seeing a few Michigan utility trucks-thanks Michigan for letting your folks help out! 

Please keep the people affected by the ice storm in your thoughts and prayers.  There were 27 people in the state of Kentucky that lost their lives during this storm.  It is so sad to think of heating your home with a gas grill brought in from outside, or candles.
