ICE




No School Today! An Ice Storm has blanketed everything in a layer of ice. It's eerily beautiful. The branches glisten. The trees creak. Then a breeze passes by and fragments of ice come thundering down to the frozen ground. Branches have fallen to the ground. Some trees have snapped and pulled down power lines. All day long we have sat inside and listened to the sounds of the blowing wind, snapping branches and melting ice. We're trapped in our house; unable to get out of our neighborhood. Stranded. (Not really. But we really like being so secluded today.) It's a pretty romantic Valentine's Day.
