The Ice Storm

Yesterday we awoke to a world encased in ice. Being that the roads and walkways of Dallas were frozen, schools were closed, business shut down and everyone was told to stay home. Cracking trees gave way to fallen branches because our sweet tall spindly Texas trees aren't used to the weight and bit of ice. So power grids started going down. But in the meantime, I pulled out my camera and enjoyed the icy weather.

Then the power went out and we enjoyed some quiet time by candle light...

Then after four hours, the power came back on...

And then I snapped a few photos around the house, 

so pleased by the glow of tree lights and the hum of the heater...

Today, it's more of the same...  

Dallas is still frozen over, so we'll spend today in front of puzzles and books and drawing paper and hot cocoa. I hope you're all staying safe and warm out there!
