Sometime between midnight and 8:00am, the rain fell… and froze… and created glistening statues of nature’s smallest beauties. My sister-in-law Kristin is right–there is something very poetic about this type of storm. From the crunch of frozen grass blades beneath my shoes to the canceled parades and miscellaneous Saturday morning plans, the frozen rain was indeed a force of nature.

Hurray, the December Photo Project is underway! Check out all the bloggers participating (see sidebar to right) and support them with your comments of encouragement. This year we also have a Flickr pool, if you feel like contributing that way. If you are participating, and haven’t received a pool invite, leave me a comment below.
