Ice Storm of 2009
The ice storm has hit! I braved the roads last night at 5:00 (just to go down the street) to get some groceries, and it was already getting pretty slippery. This morning this is what we woke up to! Layers and layers of ice. Bella tried and tried for awhile last night to find a spot to pee, but she just paced over the concrete square slab back and forth, then would barely step onto the icey grass, then hop back off - she didn't like that ice at all :) She ended up opting out of emptying her bladder in favor of getting back in the warm (and soft) house. This morning I guess she was desperate, cause she finally went on the concrete walkway out front. Poor girl. Lots of people are without power, and thankfully we still have ours. We'll see what the rest of the day holds in that arena, cause it's supposed to continue to get worse and start snowing on top of all the ice later today. So far, we're all cozy in the house and having fun having Seth home with us!
Icicles (is that how you spell that?) are hanging everywhere, and everything (including the neighbors' cars - oh how I love my garage) has a thick layer of ice on it.

The grass doesn't budge when Bella tries to step on it!
Our poor little japanese maple out front, sitting in a frozen sea of mulch. It's all so pretty!
As I'm writing this, a HUGE branch off one of our trees in the backyard just broke and fell to the ground, shattering all the ice on it!
Pray that we stay warm and safe!
