Speechless Sunday - Frozen in Time.

By
Industry Observer with Nature As Neighbors

 

This winter has been a weird one. It's been colder than normal with frequent bouts of snow and ice. Our rain chain recently turned into an interesting ice sculpture.  Today, we've got snow falling again at our home in the hills above Camas, Washington. I guess that darn rodent might be right, it looks like winter rages on for us.

That's really very cool, but it makes me think COLD. It's chilly enough here in SoCal.  Hopefully Spring is not too far away for your area!

Enjoy your Sunday!

Debb and Bernie,  I am glad the rodent appears to be right. I am not ready to let go of Mr. Winter.  We are supposed to get more rain in San Jose today and over the next couple of days.  We need the rain.  

Have a Super Sunday!

Good morning, Debb and Bernie -- well let's see -- as far as the positive aspects of the colder temps, your rain chain has been transformed into a unique piece of art.   Hmm --- maybe extra cuddle time with Mac?

Although it's a beautiful ice sculpture I hope better days are ahead and spring will soon be on the horizon.

I wondered who was getting all the winter!  While we have had one snow that was pretty but didn't last long, we still need at least one big snow.  Enjoy!

Love that photo, I enjoy rain chains, I wish we could have them but our HOA requires drainage away from the buildings to the outlying gardens where we have French Drains.

I have never seen one of those devices.  It does look pretty with the ice sticking to it.

How beautiful your wind chime is!! I love the color - does it still make noise in the wind with all that ice on it?

It's actually attached to a gutter at the side of the house. It doesn't chime, it's lovely though and drips during rainy periods.

Hi Debb - This has been a strange one for us too - a few nasty storms, some really cold spells, but mostly much milder than usual. It's threatening to hit 60 today, and the worst part about that is that the back yard is all muddy and Grover wants to play fetch.

I'm almost jealous.  It doesn't feel like winter here.  Of course, I'm going to doom myself for saying that.
