Icicles

We had an exciting novelty this morning: something outside actually froze! The temperature was right at freezing, and we'd had drizzly rain, so there were little tiny icicles all over the plants. You can sort of see a few in this picture taken from my bedroom window. They were very pretty and delicate-looking, not quite like the 3-foot icicles we sometimes had on our house on Wyoming. We used to break those off and use them for swords.

Icicles get to be three feet long?? I seriously didn't know that! But the ice really was amazing this morning! We've never seen anything like that before... :)
