Frost

So many times we think of getting a frost in the spring when it can harm our tender new plants. Also in the fall when we want to hang onto our veggie plants a bit longer, we take sheets outside and cover things up so the frost will not harm anything.

In Wisconsin, a frost when there is snow on the ground is a beautiful thing. Imagine all the trees covered in glitter and sparkling when the sun shines on it. I cannot do this justice with my camera, but I had to at least try to capture a bit of nature's magic.










Isn't there something about a weeping willow tree that takes you right back to childhood? Weeping willows make the perfect house when you use your imagination. The dropping branches provide the perfect hideout when you need to get away from the crowd of kids. The buds in the spring are so exciting. And now look at all the sparkles you can get from them in the winter.





This is a picture of the empty lot right next to us. We love our lot for family football games, Bocci Ball, Frisbee, snowmen, climbing trees and all sorts of other things.






And since this is a winter themed post, I am adding a picture of the kids and their snowman they built last week. I don't think I will get too many more opportunities to post winter pictures as spring seems to be on the way for us.
