Wintry Mix

The ice on the trees and power lines and so many other things has proven remarkably tenacious in the cold weather. Some people are still without power. It is melting, especially with warmer temps today. I really struggled to capture pictures of how beautiful it was, though. Entire groves of trees looked like they were made of glass. Here is one of the maple in our front yard, and another of our aptly named icicle lights.
In other news, we were all packed up to travel to Green Bay for Christmas today, but waves of wintry weather between us and our destination are in our way. We hope to be there at Christmas. My brother's family is dealing with airport delays traveling from Seattle, but my sister successfully fought her way up from Chicago early this morning. On the plus side, I have made some paperwork progress today.

Among the things we have been doing over the past few days is watching selections from my large collection of Christmas videos. A funny cartoon short that we have featuring Chip, Dale, and Donald Duck called "Toy Tinkers" can be found on YouTube, for example at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=miEi3F8s8H8
