The ice got thicker and then the snow fell. Not near as bad as last year but it wasn't fun. On the left is what happens when the west meets the mid-west. pine trees don't belong here. This is the reason trees are short and most of them are hardwoods, in the mid-west. The center picture is our garlic. It does just fine in the ice, the ice will melt and water the garlic. It's nice to have something green in the winter, after-all the evergreens won't last. We planted about 150 garlic in november. that might keep us till next spring. The right is our street. one of the better streets in town. If the top of your car is covered in ice it is fun to drive through icy branches. Oliver had a lot of fun smashing the ice off the cars. 3 days after the ice storm a south wind blew and it got up to 50 by noon. one inch of ice came down in about 3 hours. It was crazy. It was falling right on our van but andrea couldn't get out to the van to move it. It was like spear sized hail. the van is fine and so is everybody else. our neighbors had a chimney fire a few days ago and they have to move out for a few weeks while thy fix it and clean.

Wow, all that ice! Sounds exciting :) Although I will take the evergreens and the warm spring weather in February :) Love you guys, thanks for all the updates. My kids love it too, they see pictures of the kids and yell, "That's Oliver! That's Lily!" They miss their cousins and love them very much! Bless you and I hope this is the last of the bad ice for you :)
