No Hoarfrost Photo Today

Our area is gorgeous; the trees have been laden with heavy hoarfrost that lasts all day. I can say it's gorgeous because my house has not been without electricity. Many others have been, due to the weight of the hoarfrost on power lines. We can be thankful it's not 30-below out there.

We are heading for town to do our last-minute shopping and pick up our two youngest boys, who will spend the night out here; the eldest, with his fiancée, arrives tomorrow afternoon. It will be a treat to have them all with us at the same time for a few hours.

And now I must take my credit card, and away!

Little Grace, patterned on my mother, moves around the house. Here she rides the flying pig, sidesaddle.
