4/52 "Water"

Initially I had an idea for the water theme for week 3 of the 52 project, one that involved a big gorgeous lake nearby and a sunrise...BUT the weather has not been cooperating, and I do not own a winter coat. So. Here is it's replacement.



In case you are having trouble deciphering, this is the passenger side door of my truck this morning around 7:30. In fact, my entire vehicle was an icicle which made for creative entry. I grew up in the Midwest, and at one time was very familiar and educated on said events. However, I have been acclimatized and sadly, I lost all my winter survival skills. It's a good thing we don't have a long enough extension cord or I just may have dragged out my hair dryer.



I knew it wouldn't be long before it was completely melted, so I took advantage of the miniature skating rink I had in my front drive. Can you see the ice? Nearly busted my butt taking the trash out. Now it's nearing 50 and sunny. This weather is ridiculous.


*Yes, I know this is weak sauce compared to what some of you have been going through. Between Cheryl, Doreen and Dalia I think there has been like 178 1/4" of snow. Let me get my cold weather gripe in :) *

I was outside, taking ice pictures this morning, too! And I took one of the car window, too! LOL
I had fun, and enjoyed the cold, and crunch of the ice.
It's all melted here, too, except the areas that are in the shade all day.

I would say that I miss the ice and cold, but I'd be lying. I love Arizona and the fact that I only need a winter coat a month out of the year and even then, it's iffy.
It does make for some great pictures though if you are brave enough to go outside, which I'm not.

lol.. you can gripe! If I lived in Texas I would be like Michaela and probably like the snow/ice only because I would know that is really short lived. Where in the midwest did you grow up?

Awesome pics by the way.
