Today is an unexpected gratitude.  It is icy today and more on the way.  So today I have the unexpected pleasure and gratitude of spending time with my grandsons.  School has been cancelled and most of the surrounding schools as well.  Right now they are happily watching cartoons which they rarely get to do.

Normally I can stand under the branches of this tree.

Somewhere under the tree is a six foot tall birdfeeder.

The photo doesn't show off the ice very well but it is there.

Now back to the grandkids.
