Very pretty pic's all! Have we had enough cold weather yet? Not nearly as bad here..but woke up (5 am) with no power this morning. Of course I was supposed to start baking cookies early this morning. Well power came on around 9:30 so I started to pull the ingredients from the pantry! NO SUGAR!! The ground is very hard and icy..so I will need to wait until the thaw until I venture out to the store. Who doesn't have sugar in the pantry? I am such a dork!
Was able to make Russian Tea cakes as those call for powder sugar which I had..
Here is my poor little white birch tree bending over from the ice. Sure hope this ice does not kill all my trees and plants. Can't afford to landscape all over again! :(
