Frosted Forest


I'm all alone in the world.  At least that's the way it looks.  It's been foggy every morning for the past few days - nothing outside but a white sky meeting a white earth.  By noon each day, the fog's gone leaving blue skies and everything outlined in frost crystals.  Quite beautiful.  As you can see most of the trees bent over in the rain/snow storms of last month have been able to right themselves.  Some did snap under the stress.  While traditionally January is a time to make resolutions, I'm using it this year as a time to write down plans for the new year.  Plan 1 is to get a metal firewood holder and put it in Haven's garage.  When spring comes, can cut up a few of  the broken trees and store them there.  They should be dry enough to use next winter plus I won't have to go outside when I need extra logs.  Plan 2 is to dismantle the aquarium.  Have all winter to figure out what to do w/ a 73 gallon glass tank.  Plan 3 ... well that can wait.  Think I'll break out another jigsaw puzzle.
