t is for torrential...

please click on this photo for a real treat


it wasn't snowing outside last sunday morning, it was sleeting! & much to my surprise, this is what I saw when I got into my car. I've always loved the designs that ice storms make. then it started to rain! I heard it coming from a distance like a giant wave, just like it does in a torrential downpour. I quickly grabbed my camera hoping to catch this design before it was completely washed away.
at last, we've had a slight reprieve from the frigid cold. monday actually felt like spring. sunday when the weather was more like the above photograph, I noticed lots of stark dark trees with black limbs and not any leaves, much like the one in this picture. there are 18 days until it is officially winter. then at least our days will start to get a little longer!
