Are These Some Sad Looking Trees or What?
.
Don't they just look so sad? Mind you, I'd be pretty depressed after the weather we had the other day too! The kids were home for 2 days because of the school and busses being cancelled. Everything had been completely covered in ice...not good at all! It made for some terrible driving conditions as well as walking conditions! So slippery.
.
As a result, everything had a huge layer of ice including these poor pathetic looking trees...there are broken branches all over the place...I guess some trees just couldn't take the weight of the ice.
.
Usually the trees all around our house are so full and beautiful, but yesterday they were just droopy and sad :o(
.
Check this one out! Oh my goodness...every single branch was right iced-over and dripping with icicles...kinda neat!
.
And here is what the snow banks all around us look like! They are solid like a rock...with a huge thick layer of glistening ice on top...everything around us looked like glass...I wonder how the poor wild animals get around out there without slipping and falling all over the place?
.
Lucky for us the weather is looking a little bit better...we've got snow coming down today so I guess it's better than freezing rain...I am soooo looking forward to some Spring weather!

We had an ice storm last month and when the sun finally came out the trees were gorgeous! It's definitely no fun without the sun. :(

The trees in the foggy background look like a great idea for a lace pattern! I love "real snow country trees" like the trees in your pictures. Thanks for sharing them!
