Frosty Frozen Fog

-
When I opened the drapes this morning, I thought there was a blizzard going on outside. I was puzzled because snow wasn't predicted. Upon closer inspection I discovered it wasn't actually snowing; the wind was blowing the lacy ice crystals from the tree branches. Yesterday was fairly warm so we had a heavy fog in the evening. Overnight it froze to every little branch, needle and twig making for a Christmas card scene in the front yard. It's beautiful days like this that don't make me dislike winter as much. Here are some photos. (Click on 'em to biggify if you can. You won't be disappointed!)

Unbelievable! Isn't it stunning....I tell you, this is proof enough for ME that there's a Creator (and that She's very artistic).

I drove south to Hudson on Thursday morning and saw many of the same images. The ones that pleased me the most were the long-needled pines (white pines, I think) that were frost-coated. They looked like big fluffy blackish-green-white clouds.

I love it when that happens, but I must confess that when I first saw the title of the post, I read it as "Frosty Frozen Frog". Made me wonder what the hell you were up to.

Yes, beautiful! I noticed our trees this morning, too, and you caught the intricacy with your close-up photo of the branches... Reminded me of the "flocked" Christmas trees my MIL has sometimes gotten for her Christmas tree...

Believe it or not, I actually do love winter. These great photos illustrate one of the reasons why!

Wonderful! I didn't get outside to take photos myself. Glad you did, because yours are just stunning.

We learned from the news tonight, that the frozen fog crystals are called "riming".....Truthfully, this was the first time I have ever heard this term, but I looked it up and the explanation verifies it. ;)

Just got a comment on my last blog entry reminding me that Monday is actually the last day of November, not today. So I have TWO more entries to complete NaBloPoMo; today and TOMORROW. How sad would that have been...to blow the whole thing because I can't read a calendar? I just figured, hey, December is coming next week, might's well start it out first thing on Monday! This here is a picture of my BubberKev and I at Thanksgiving. We're taking a momentary break from strangling each other to goof at the camera. Our mamma must be so proud! Back to online Christmas shopping! Have a great Sunday evening!

Lots of New Tangle Pattern Ideas!

I've been setting aside tangles that I've created in a special file in my cabinet. When I put one in last night, I realized that I had quite a stockpile and that I hadn't put only of them out there for others to try...so here they all are. I'm not good at stepouts or at naming. Most of them are named after placed in Maine...just because. I'd love to see any tangles that you've done that use any of these patterns! Have fun and tangle on!

Wicked Wonderful Weekend

 I had a really nice weekend. I didn't expect to since I had both my Covid booster and my flu shot  on Thursday afternoon. My first of the original two Covid shots put me under the weather for about 24 hours...but I just got a headache from this one and that's about it. And since I get headaches anyway, who knows if it was from the shots or not? At any rate, I was prepared for a stay-at-home-lay-about weekend.  Life is what happens when you are making other plans.  Since I decided Friday Night that I guess I wasn't going to be incapacitated after all, I arranged to go with friend, Donna to Baraboo to the Arts and Crafts Festival. It was really nice and way bigger than I thought it would be. Baraboo is where Ringling Brothers started so there were also circus-y things all over town. So much fun! After the Fair we went to lunch at a little breakfast place and then headed to one of my fav spots, Pewett's Nest, to see the gorge and waterfall. Then we stopped at Sky Hi Apple
