Finally, blue skies. The electricity is back on along with cable and internet, the ice is melting and we are returning to our modern noisy way of life but the ice still looks peaceful.

I just loved this scene with the snow and the ice and the barn. It was so calm with everyone at home and no tvs, phones, etc.

This is a lantern from the cemetary behind our house. There were so many things to take pictures of with the ice. It was really very beautiful if you could get past the fact that you were without electricity, internet, etc.

We had a ball playing in the snow. Well, it was actually a few inches of ice with a few inches of snow on top. Made for fast sledding though. Eli hates to have his picture taken so you will probably not see him much during this project. For once though when I said, "look at mommy", he did.

This was the first of 4 days without electricity and boredom had already set in. She was watching the snow/rain/sleet come down outside. We had told her she couldn't go out until it had stopped and she was waiting patiently, at this moment, for it to stop.

I have always loved this arch over the railroad tracks. It is in a small town down the road from us called Irvington. When the railroads were a mainstay of transportation Irvington was a bustling little metro but as the railroad industry was overtaken by others it has been slowly dying out. Now it is just a speck on the map with a Dollar Store, a Rite Aid and an IGA and not much else.

Sooo, I know this is not the best picture but it was not the best day. My mom was sick with bad back pains all morning so finally I took her to Acutecare that afternoon. She had a bad bladder infection. I didn't have time to really take any pics so I finally just took one of the light in the exam room.
