Soft moss a downy pillow makes, and green leaves spread a tent,
Where faerie fold may rest and sleep until their night is spent.
The bluebird sings a lullaby, the firefly gives a light,
The twinkling stars are candles bright, Sleep, Faeries all, Goodnight.

Ice Ice Baby

Shoot, I was singing the praises of impending spring just Thursday and just look what happened! My 3 blooms I was tickled over-- (lenten rose, winter jasmine and winter honeysuckle) are now shrouded in ice! Oh well , I guess it is still January.
I thought this was a cool ice effect on our windmill.

Now I'm glad I didn't remove ALL the dead vines!


Even the fairies were caught by surprise!

My Arizona Cypress...probably dreaming of Arizona.

    I thought you probably got more snow than we did. The Arizona Cypress is so cute!

    Great photographs and you are right about a neat effect on the windmill. I know around here as things begin to bloom, they will turn on the sprinklers when the temperatures are getting below 32 ~ just to coat them in ice and shield them from lower temperatures. Maybe nature did that for your lenten rose, winter jasmine and winter honeysuckle.
