Slip sliding away, slip sliding away - you know the nearer your destination the more you're slip sliding away ...
Most of us in the Bluegrass region of Kentucky awoke this morning to Ice Storm 2009. Here in Harrodsburg, we only got about 1 inch of snow, but the snow is now covered with a half inch of ice!
My car is iced over, all my trees are iced over - not to mention all the stubble in my wildflower garden. It makes for some beautiful pictures, but not so beautiful driving conditions. Daughter is home from school and I'm home from work. Unfortunately, the hubby had to stay overnight in Lexington to be ready to do team coverage of the storm damage.
This morning I refused to take our doggie for a walk, so I put on his longest lead and stood on the back porch so he could go out in the yard do his business. Even though he weighs almost 50 pounds, he was walking on TOP of the ice! Yes, that's how thick the ice is on the ground - my doggie didn't even break through to the snow. And yes, now there is a yellow stain on the snow/ice and a lovely package I'll have to shovel up later.
Hope everyone is safe and warm and still has electricity. Later ...

Oh, my! Gorgeous photo, but I know what you mean about terror on the roads! Be awfully careful out there. Can you snug in? I hope so.
Stop by the Gypsy -- I'm having a drawing -- part of the One World, One Heart thing!
Love the song reference. I don't know if anyone else sang it or not, but I have it on a Paul Simon CD. I'd say that's an appropriate ice song.
I agree with Jeanie--that is a great photo. Unfortunately, you have to contend with ice on everything to get a nice shot of "pretty ice." Be careful out there!
