hoar frost

 Photos would be nice today, but i will try to describe. We have been living in a fairy tale world of hoar frost for many days, and  neighbours here that i have spoken to, we all agree it is so beautiful every thing covered in white. A 3 cm  thick wrap around of white down on even the spider webs,  But we all miss the sun. We  all  have been, so it seems, on sun quests, and we have all found  that sun light!. The day before yesterday i climbed up out of it, and saw it is just a small cloud hanging over our neighbourhood. 

This morning i did see stars out of my bedroom window, faint, but stars nevertheless. And stepping outside, clearness does come with colder temperatures, it was -15 C.  And the hoarfrost has transformed into something... In a few hours from now... it is funny how it has been so dark this year as i was explaining here on blog early this winter that we have lots of light, oops not when it is cast over all the time. Anyway i am so looking forward to the light that will come, i  expect  the hoarfrost to be sparkling.  My path to the outhouse earlier , branches were hanging over low, i had to duck . Usually  i will knock of this hoarfrost when in my way, but it had transformed from down into ice crystals. I have never seen it like that.

All is well in the world.

Hoar frost is beautiful. I'm envious, but know that I'd struggle in those low temperatures. xx

It sounds lovely and I have been lucky enough, a long time ago, to see frost and ice covering the tree branches. Wouldn't want to live in such cold climates again, though!

:) of course there is a plus side to the fact that many people do not like or cannot tolerate the cold. Thanks for your comments!
