Ice pictures

Our neighbor up at the farm took these pictures and shared them with me. You can see the amount of ice that just covered everything. I told her that it's hard for us that are down here in Little Rock to imagine what it's like because we don't see it and don't face it every day.

I heard they finally got power back yesterday and I am glad. We have a long road to recovery, but I know we'll get there.

(thanks Susan for sharing and letting me use your pictures!!)

Just a taste...

These pictures offer only a smidgen of what it's like up in north Arkansas right now. I actually shot these during a previous ice storm (around the beginning of January 09). It's pretty to look at, but just devestating to deal with.

I hope and pray those that are still w/o power will have power soon. I am reminded just how lucky we are when such events happen.

Blu and some other family members went up to the family farm earlier this week (he has yet to come home), and they say it is really bad. We have some fence-mending to get done, but can't get to it until the ice melts. The cows are doing fine; looks like we have some work to do in the coming months. Stay tuned for more pictures of the farm!
