We had a little Ice storm down here. The trees were coated with ice and it was beautiful as long as you didn't have to drive in it. 

I wonder what happened to this limb years ago to cause it to swell out like this.

Cactus like this is common around here but this is the first I've seen that grew out of a limb like this. The limb is about 1/2 inch around and a foot tall.

Mosquito is the smart one and will watch Blue while he goes swimming.

It is 43 out and it is too cold for me but Blue seems to love it.
