Oh, the weather outside is frightful...

( John put lights on the house for the first time this year, aren't they beautiful?!)

The ice storm a couple days ago was certainly "frightful"...not only if you were out on the roads or walking across parking lots, but also inside with flickering power for many.

Our poor trees have had it this year...first tornadic winds taking half their branches, and now heavy ice to break some more. That is one pathetic tree.

But... God in all his splendor made an awesome show of it all. Dangerous as it may have been, it also couldn't have been more beautiful.
