We had a big ice storm here Thursday night/Friday morning. We woke up the first time Friday morning to the power going out (and, thankfully, the generator going on!) and the second time to the sound of this tree falling down. Kind of freaky.
We lost power for about 36 hours, and Mason spent about 3 hours clearing pine trees off of our driveway with the chainsaw. There is a lot of mess and destruction, and it's likely going to take us weeks to get it all cleaned up, but thankfully nothing hit the house.
The upside to all of that is that ice is really beautiful. This is my favorite picture from yesterday, when the skies were still gray...
And then this morning, the sun came out, and WOW. Gorgeous.
And then there's our driveway:
Thankful today for safety, a warm house, and beauty in spite of the storm.
