Strangers in our Trees.......

Saturday morning we received a bit of snow so it was a slow moving day for us. Around noon time the crows were going crazy and flocking to our yard. The last time this happened I looked out and they were following an owl that had landed in our pine tree. So this time I had to check and of course they were bugging a couple of hawks that had stopped for a break. This isn't the greatest picture (I took it out of the kitchen window) but it will have to do :)

After the Storm

Well back to work today, they actually closed Rose-Hulman for 1 1/2 days. School for the girls is still out so they got a total of four days off. Of course they have to make each day up at the end of the year...YUCK!!! Here are a few pictures around my work. It is such a beautiful campus and the ice just glistened all day! I am so ready for spring though!!






Winter Storm Warning - Day Two

Wow what an ice storm!! We made it through without any problems, just a few branches in the yard and lots and lots of ice. The snow was really blowing in this picture!



Winter Storm Warning - Day One

Here are a few pictures of what it looked like around my house after day 1 of our ice storm.


Our poor pine tree does not have many more branches!



The girls enjoying the time off of school!!!
