Baby It's Cold Outside!

I will admit I am not a fan of coooooooooolllllllllld weather!!!! However, I do live in Illinois and that means I must endure whatever mother nature throws my way. After being "trapped" in the house for 2 1/2 days with the kiddos last week after the freezing rain, snow, ice etc made it's drop upon Bond County. I HAD to get OUT of the house.......... I didn't go far, but during "quite" time I ventured out into the yard with my camera and took a few snapshots so that someday I can tell my grandchildren and show them photos of the "blizzardy, icey" conditions of 2011. I will say this, the ice makes for some very beautiful nature photos. I also included a photo of our mailbox, you can see at the bottom where the snow was beggining to pile up around it after the snow plow had been down our road several times!!!! But, ours looks like nothing compared to the mailbox at the Speck residence in good ol' Minnesota!!! I am no even sure if they can get their mail on a regular basis................... ;)
