Foggy
Foggy Winter
Well, this is the closest we've gotten to a picture of the folks for a while. Mike's kids made snowmen early in the week when it was around freezing and the snow was all soft and sticky. When they came in, they told Grampa they made 2 snowmen, one was Grampa and the other was Grandma. Grandma was on the sled so Grampa could pull her around with her sore foot!
As of tonight, 2-10-07, we are completely fogged in again. Been 6 days since we've seen the sun. It just varies from extremely foggy like tonight to visibility of 10 miles before everything disappears into the haze, and no sun at all, no mountains. Just gray and foggy. Here are a few pictures from around the yard the middle of the afternoon during one of the brighter periods. Weird frost on the trees. Usually the fog leaves everything covered all the way around with big crystals like huge snowflakes. This frost is like giant thorns, and generally it stuck out only in one direction with the rest of the branch bare.
The dead yucca flower stalk in the front lawn.
Branches on the blue plums out by the front gate.
The driveway north of the house. The misty appearance through the trees is the fog.
More of the plum trees, frost sticking all on one side as giant thorns.
The chinese elms behind the old chicken house.
Not a dead cat, just Calico rolling around asking for attention in the garden.

Boards covered with lichen and a chokecherry growing around them.
