Our tree break, encased in thick snow/frostWell, if that ain't everything all in one kaboodle ... freezing fog, Ariat boot giveaway and Haiti donations!!
First, a reminder: If you haven't entered Misha's Ariat boot giveaway at her blog, From My Front Porch in the Mountains, you need to get on over there and do so! She extended the giveaway until tonight at 7 p.m. since her comment button was playing wonky yesterday!
Our entire tree break view - see the gate in the middle?Secondly, another blogger friend of mine, Cindy of Write Up My Alley, is donating $1.00 to the Haiti cause (up to $200) for every comment that's made on this particular blog article. You have until February 5th to head on over there and make a comment. Let's put her $200 to good use ~ skedaddle on over there right now and leave a comment!
The dirt road to nowhere... disappearing into fogOur weather is playing with us since last week... first, our big snowstorm on Friday, and now MORE freezing fog. We had almost a full week of fog the 3rd week of January, and now it's back, only this time it's freezing! What fun!! Oh well, it made for some nice photos. And it's a good opportunity to get caught up on indoor things, isn't it?
Spring will be here soon enough and the outdoors will call my name... hence I've been trying to plan our gardens this last week ~flowers, vegetables and herbs. I still have a ton of planning to do, and I better get it all figured out soon... it'll be seed starting time in just a few weeks!
Through the country gate
You do know that frozen fog is called hoarfrost, don't you? Looks like your hoarfrost is the 'fuzzy' kind like we've had here recently. Check out the hoarfrost recently photographed around Hutchinson KS...

Oh! I LOVE your photo of the snowy dirt road. That's worthy of framing and putting on display. Beautiful!

ReplyDeleteI think I'm seeing another calendar in your future!
ReplyDeleteYes, I am thinking you have December and January shots for future calendars for many years to come.

Seems we're all a tad tired of winter!
ReplyDeleteLove your blog!! I hopped over here from Paint Girl's, I too have loved photographing these frosted days here in KS!!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the pictures! I know you are one busy lady so I won't keep you long. Just wanted to say Hey there! and we remembered to flip Ringo's January pic over and are now lookin' at a very contented Ranch dog.

ReplyDeleteNot nearly as nice as you make it look
ReplyDeleteSusan, these are gorgeous. I missed my op when we had freezing fog here a few weeks ago. drats! Not that I want it again or anything, however :) -Tammy
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I sure wish we had such scenery here in the bay area...but we have to drive to Tahoe or Yosemite to get a chance at such winter scenery. Interesting note by Moonshadow re hoarfrost - now I know!
ReplyDeleteI have such a love/hate relationship with winter. I really, really hate the cold. But I really, really am in awe of ice/sleet/snow views. It's snowing here as I type. Again. I am sick to death of this weather. But I never tire of looking at it. I think I need therapy.
ReplyDeleteWe looked the same this morning, just beautiful. There are benefits to this weather!
ReplyDeleteSuch wonderful photos! The hoar frost really is gorgeous! Keep warm...
ReplyDelete'the outdoors will call my name' - love that
ReplyDeleteYour winter pic collection rivals mine and I live in Vermont. I guess we know who the better photographer is! :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful hoarfrost! The fog can be so dense this time of year..scary looking. Take Care! :)
ReplyDeleteLovely photos Susan as ever...simple yet story-telling.
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to stop by and say thank you for the comment you left me about family and friends not following your blog; good to know I'm not the only one. And you're right, the blogosphere is a fantastic place as I have recently found...comfort and support, apparently, knows no bounds.
Oh girl, ya caught the foggy mist in all it's glory. Your pics are amazing, just like a winter wonderland. Thanks for the heads up of the donation and giveaway.
ReplyDeleteGod bless and have a fabulous evening!!!
I never knew that hoarfrost was frozen fog. I thought it was just cheap floozy frost. LOL
ReplyDeleteI love your pictures. It's been a long time since I've seen hoarfrost and it's so beautiful!
