An Icicle Kind of Morning...

 It's freezing this morning... literally.


 This is what happens when the temp is 22°F 
and the city turns on the irrigation water for the season.


 Isn't it magical?



 Best viewed by tiptoeing out onto the grass...



 But be sure to wear your shoes...
cuz it's a little frosty out there.

Sweet kudos to my daughter 
who discovered this marvel as she drove to school 
early this morning.

And a badge of honor to me  
for braving the cold to take the pics. 
So glad I had my shoes on.

  4. Oh my that is some seriously thick ice there. I would have thought there was some big damage breaking some of the limbs off with the weight of it.

    Wow I am shocked they would have irrigation on this early...we have so much rain right now and are flooded.

  6. Huh. That's wild. One of my friends said she has natural icicles in her trees. This time of year is crazy, isn't it?

  7. We thought it was amazing, too. Not only for the icicles, but also because the ground is already quite wet from the rain.

  9. Honestly I only took the pics because my daughter wanted to post them on her instagram. And then I realized... they may just make a good post. :)

  11. The trees survived. All is well. Today is Spring, but what will tomorrow bring? Crazy weather.

    Oh, ummmm wow. Well someone should have checked the temperatures and not just the calendar...what's with people. That poor tree, it's probably a goner.


    Great shots, hope you warmed up by now.
