“Welcome home,” said Old Man Winter. After a much warmer and dryer stay south of the Mason-Dixon line, we were greeted in New Hampshire by a snowstorm followed by freezing rain, sleet, and a thick coating of ice. It was not much of a warm welcome home.
Multi-car accidents yesterday and pedestrian falls on the ice caused our local emergency room to fill with the injured last night. We can handle the snow. It’s the ice. Always the ice.
We’ve decided we will stay home today, fire in the fireplace, music on, and I will start on my needlepoint. I have had the canvas of a Japanese Imari design for a year and finally picked out the wool in a wonderful needlepoint shop on Hilton Head Island. It arrived by post yesterday. How divine….
Yes, the ice makes wonderful photos but not good for walking or driving. 🙂

Gosh. I grew up in Iowa. I could drive on any snow it threw at me. But ice… forget it. Good call on staying home, although lovely photos!

Oh wow! Iowa always seems to be on the Weather Channel for winter snow. You must be a snow pro!

The drooping dragonfly is a classic shot!(suitable for framing) Love the Imari colors too. Have fun.

Isn’t my dragonfly adorable? He’s taken a beating through the years. Birds like to land on him, a squirrel once broke a wing off, and the weight of snow and ice really bend those wings. A little soldering fixes him right up.

Be careful out there. Makes me shiver just looking at the photos. It will be fun to watch the progress on your needlepoint.
