Relative Something

The spring weather has been one storm after another this year. I think the last two have overlapped each other. Sunday turned into a day-long rainstorm, with temperatures hovering just below freezing. That meant ice buildup on tree branches and surfaces.

In the middle of the afternoon, I tried stepping out to see how our trees were holding up. Unfortunately, it was very windy, which had to have been putting extra strain on the branches that were getting heavy with ice. At the time, there were only small branches that had begun to accumulate on the ground, but the ones still in the air were definitely becoming shimmering beauties.

I almost didn’t get our front door to open against the ice that had formed along the bottom. The handle was covered, and dripping icicles. Luckily, though the rain seemed to be pouring down, the icing of limbs didn’t appear to growing at an equivalent rate. I can only hope that our luck endures through the end of this weather event.
