covered in ice

This morning we woke up to the world covered in ice.  About three quarters an inch of ice is covering everything outside.  We wake up early and when we first peaked outside it was silent completely silent except for the slight creaking of ice on limbs.  We stared at the TV for about an hour waiting for school closings and calling work every now and then to find out they’ve closed work for the day. 

Now I have an extra day to catch up on everything I’ve been behind on.  I’m going to package up my christmas packages.  They will still get to their destinations late but at least they’re ready to go to the post office.  I’m going to bake some bread to hand out to friends and family.  And I’m going to work on some beading.  Maybe not all today I do have all weekend.  But now I definitely don’t feel so rushed.  In fact I even went outside and took some pictures of a world of ice.  You can click on them for larger pics. 

Although we didn’t get snow the ice and the planning of just staying in the house has put me in the Christmas mood.  Chicago area got 10inches of snow, so we’ll definitely have a white Christmas this year.  It sounded like the storm system is heading East today and that another system is coming next week.  Be careful on the roads and enjoy our winter weather!
