Beards of icicles.....

                         "WINTER GIVETH THE FIELDS, AND THE TREES SO OLD,
                                     THEIR BEARDS OF ICICLES AND SNOW".......


You have to admit
they are a bit magical
 hanging from 
roofs and porches
like clear blades of steal,
sharp as daggers! 


This house has a cedar roof so the icicles
take on the color from the wood shingles.  





Some icicles are actually touching the snow mounds!



Or maybe, the snow mounds 
are reaching up to touch the icicles!


Some are so thick 
building 
"snow dams"
and causing a lot of roof damage.


This is the house across the street from us.
The icicles can be beautiful when the sun is hitting just right
and you can actually watch them grow!  

It's snow wonder ....
There is snow place like home! 

(Enough with the wicked weather, get me outah here!)

We hang those lights at Christmas time... I think this is actually what they are s'posed to look like. Beautiful!
But don't be caught under on when it crashes down.
Y'all stay warm!
