Freezing Rain

Abby's friend Liz (who lives across the country) wanted to see a picture of our freezing rain! Here you go, Liz! This is our neighbor's ornamental pear tree (no pears, and the leaves take forever to fall off in the fall/winter!). The roads aren't all that bad, actually, although everything above the road is coated with ice. This, too, shall pass, and it's nice to have a day/evening to spend at home, without needing to go anywhere (except maybe to take Abby to work and pick her up . . . Scott would feel better if we drove her instead of letting her drive in the sleet and freezing rain (snow is actually better to drive in, we believe!)
