Ice storm on Christmas Day
It lasted…and lasted.
The only thing to do was start a fire.
Fire and Ice, Football, and Leftovers.
Life is Good.

A Teacher's Reflections 
Stay warm, Jennie
Will do, John.
☃️☃️☃️☃️☃️
😀
I’m glad you have a fireplace. 🙂 Sounds like a perfect day to me. Except for the football. 🙂
I have to agree with you about the football. 🙂
Yes! Except the Patriots were terrible today. Two games to go, and Mac Jones is so much like that young Tom Brady we saw and followed.
🙂
A fireplace is lovely and warm, but a bit of work. We enjoy it. It was a perfect day (even with football)🙂 Tomorrow we’ll tackle scraping all the ice and sanding.
I love the beauty of ice, but know how it is a challenge as well, glad you had the fire to offset it
Yes, indeed! That fire added to the beauty of the ice and kept us warm.
Ice storms are the worst😕
They are, far worse than snow!
A fire on an icy day reminds us of our primeval past. (No ice here, just rain.)
Best wishes, Pete.
It really does. We truly become helpless and at the mercy of Mother Nature. Anyone here would rather have a foot of snow than a half-inch of ice. But, it is so beautiful. Best to you, Pete.
Glad you could cozy up to a warm fire and drink in the ambiance of the icestorm – hot beverage in hand too I hope!
It was lovely, Laura. Thank you!
The best thing about Boxing Day is the leftovers!! Stay warm. That fireplace looks very cosy.
We are warm and cozy. Yes, leftovers on Boxing Day. Yum!
Yes it is!
😀
Our ice storm was yesterday. We awoke to a blanket of newly-fallen snow this morning.
Snow on top of ice? That can be bad. Ski country must bee celebrating.
Yes, they are.
😀
Sounds like a perfect way to spend the day. I do love the look of trees when they are covered with ice, beautiful.
It was lovely day, Carla. So pretty. Thank you.
How beautiful!
Stanta’s heading home…… Have a Wonderful & Happy New Year Jennie!
Thank you so much, Cindy!
Yep – that’s all we need (well, my husband at least), football and leftovers! 😀
😀
What a wonderful recipe for a fun day! And such an enjoyable football game, to boot😉!
You’re just rubbing it in…😅
Wonderful post
Thank you.
Not always convenient but still beautiful.. love the fire… thanks for sharing Jennie ♥
Thanks, Sally!
At that moment the world is such an incredibly beautiful place! It’s also dangerous. But the fire sounds perfect!
The two were perfect together!
life is good when you can find the good in anything. meanwhile, we had 55 degree weather – perfect for a walk…
Are you sure you wouldn’t like to trade? More ice is headed our way tonight…
I often think about people who just don’t see the good in things. It must be sad for them.
I’l let you keep the ice 🙂
😅
So beautiful and what a lovely fireplace…picture-perfect, Jennie…x
Thank you, Carol!
It sounds like a pretty good day in my book! We are just back from our travels—too far behind on blogging to get to them all.
I hope you had a wonderful visit with your son. I am always far behind on blogging, so no worries. Rest, enjoy the day back home tomorrow, and your blogging can wait. Best to you, Pete!
Looks like you made the best of it, Jennie.
I did, except the Patriots lost…😞
Steelers too 🙁
I know. Sigh!
Wonderful and beautiful post, Jennie.
Thank you!
Welcome Jenny.
Gorgeous photos.
Thank you.
Beautiful scenery and beautiful sentiments! Happy New Year, Jennie!!
Thank you! Happy New Year to you!
Nice fire.looks comfy
Thanks!
It looks magical out there but, I like your plan of staying in with a nice toasty fire and good food. 😀
It was a good plan! 🙂
😀
