Since I don't have any Bailey's Irish Cream on hand, I searched the internet to find a coffee/alcohol drink I could make and sip this evening. I found a recipe for Cafe Bueno which added kahlua and brandy to the coffee. Good Coffee?! Blech, not good coffee! So I ate the whip cream off the top. Twice. I think I'll just pour a cup of coffee now. It will be more bueno without the alcohol.
We did have to venture outside a lil bit ago to cut off some tree limbs that were so laden with ice they were scraping the roof and side of the house. Fed the horses while we were outside too.
One very happy thing happened while we were outside.... I found Barack! He had been missing for the last 2 days and we were afraid that something had gotten him. We were quite sad about it. Well, I went into this front storage room attached to our crappy garage, and I heard the loudest meowwwwww. My heart leapt, and I opened the door to the crappy garage, and lo and behold, there was Barack! We think he must have snuck into the crappy garage Weds afternoon when hubby got some gas cans out. Hopefully he killed and ate a few mice or rats while he was holed up in there. :-)
Anyway, that is my last time outside today. The rain/sleet is just beginning to change over to snow here, so I am sure that nature will provide a smorgasbord of picture-taking opportunities when I awake tomorrow morning!!!
So here are my last few ice photos of the day...
Beautiful ice pictures! I am glad you found your cat!
ReplyDeleteSo happy you found Barack! I know the feeling when they're missing...we have one that loves to roam.
ReplyDeleteHave you ever tried Frangelico in your coffee?
ReplyDeleteGlad you found your cat! Thanks for sharing your icy view with us. If we have snow here by morning, I'll just open the front door and snap some pics! Sure...come on over! We went out for our usual mexican dinner tonight, even though I made a pot of tortilla soup today.
Glad you found Barack! Great icy photos..I really like that last one..looks like you got a lot of icy rain and missed out on the snow. We still have some of the white stuff here, not much melting today..too darn cold:(
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures. Brrrrrr. It's in the 80s here. I can't even imagine. How quickly I forget. Welcome home, Barack! Although I guess he never really left.
ReplyDeleteI'm snowed in too. Was supposed to drive to TX today but we got probably 6 inches and since most of the roads I travel are two lane, I decided to wait until tomorrow. Glad you found barack (the name still makes me laugh)and are tucked in safe at home. Stay warm!
ReplyDeleteYikes! You did get a lot more than we did. Ours has already melted off. We've locked Pete in the garage a couple of times and he is sure glad when we finally find him and let him out. Stay warm!
ReplyDeleteStay warm. Those ice pictures remind me of days without power--something I don't miss about my days in the plains states.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you lost power! I am glad you have a generator at least though. Our power kept blinking on and off during the storm, but it never stayed off thank goodness. Gorgeous pictures!
