Getting even Thicker........

...............after several nights of below freezing temperatures and no real thaw during the day, the ice on plants is building up. I had a glorious ride out this morning - taking one of my "ladies" to her Dentist some 15 miles away - through a couple of very pretty villages. On the way back, I asked her if she minded if I stopped to take a picture of these seedheads by the side of the road - now although she is a very nice person, she really does not appreciate nor have much interest her surroundings - so she asked me why on earth I wanted to take a picture of an icy weed by the side of the road but no she didn't mind !! When she saw the little picture on my camera she said " Oh I didn't think it would look like that - it is quite nice, isn't it" Nuff said !!! So here it is - my picture of a quite nice icy weed !!

As you will have gathered, we have had an extremely cold night - the temperature now at 14.20 is -2 deg - so no thawing today - the plants will soon be breaking under the weight of the accumulating ice!

Try to keep warm and enjoy the pretty day.
