Hi. :))))) How are you tonite? I am doing most sweetly. :)))))) At 5:20 a.m. this morning my alarm woke me. :) I got up, checked my cell for messages, gave George kitty fresh ice water, turned on the local news, and listened to the rain. :)))) At 5:45 I woke Cody for school. Cody and I sat in the living room watching "Friends" as he ate his breakfast. :) At 6 he was off to finish getting ready for school. After he was finished he came into the living room where I was watching a Luke Bryan video. I then looked at the clock and it was 6:45. I looked at him and said your bus is really late this morning isn't it. He pulled out his cell phone and called the snow line. At that moment he found out that school was closed today. I looked at him and said if you want to go back to bed you may. LOL!!! I then fixed me a waffle and watched a little of the "Today Show". After I washed my plate I went back to bed. :))) When I woke at 11 I was so very refreshed. :))) When I looked outside everything was covered in ice. :)))) It was truely beautiful. :))))) I then went out to the den where Kip was setting. :)))) Around 1:00 I ventured out into the cold to capture some of nature frozen in time. :))) I must admit that when I first went out I didn't have gloves on. In about 5 minutes of being out I put my gloves on. :)))) I truely enjoyed how quiet and peaceful it was while I was out today. :))))) After about 15-20 mintues I came back into the house. I was freezing. Brrrrr. It was below freezing when I came in. After I warmed up I began laundry. :)))))) Around 5 p.m. Kip started fixing dinner for us. :))))) I folded laundy. :)))))) When dinner was finished we all ate, and afterwards Kip washed the dishes and cleaned the kitchen. I folded more laundry. :))))) I then came to renderosity. :))))) How is the weather where you are? I hope it is warm and beautiful. :))))) I should tell a little about this image before I go to bed. :))))) This is how one of our Japanese maples looked all covered in ice. Brrrr. LOL!!!! I truely love the details in the ice droplets. :))))))) With each passing season there is beauty to be found. Okay now that I have seen the beauty of winter I am so ready to see the beauty of Spring. :)))) I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart to each that looked, commented, and rated my last image. :))))) I shoud be getting to bed now. Before I go I want to wish each a most cozy nite filled with the sweetest of dreams. :)))))) Wishing each a beautiful warm tomorrow. :)))))) Nite, Sweet Dreams :))))) Smile each morning. :))))))))))))
