Our world is covered in a sheet of one-inch-thick ice right now. It’s coating our windows, the sides of the house, the sidewalks and roads, and our backyard has become a skating rink. It’s so windy that our windows and siding are rattling, and the young oak in front of our house is practically bent in half. Poor Lucas, who’s clumsy enough on dry land, is having a really, really hard time with this. Our power flickered – the ice is so heavy it’s downing trees and power lines – and our internet, phone, and TV went out. So today we’re dreaming about all those warm summer days when it was almost too hot to be outside:

02•02•11 at 4:25 pmOh dear, that sounds very, very cold! It’s fairly temperate over here but my hands are cold as I type, the heat has to be on… and I definitely look forward to the “too hot” days! 🙂
