Freezing Fog - Ugly can produce beauty

For the last few days we have been socked in with freezing fog.  It makes for yucky days that seem to stay the same time all day long.  There is almost zero air movement however the fog has produced some amazing frost art creations on all sorts of things outside.  There must also be some slight air movement as most of the ice crystals point northward.

And Not just plants... Pic 1 - chain links, Pic 2 - Wind chimes, Pic 3 - wire stuck in the trunk of a Juniper

Today we actually got about 1 hour of partial sun so took some pics with the sun shining

Here is another example of frost art that I found on my car one morning going to work when we lived in Wales.


That's not fog!

With all the fires burning in the southern part of the state, air quality is now hazardous. This is the view out our back window putting visibility at under half a mile. The second two picks show the smoke levels across the state. Looks like we will be inside watching movies and playing games on this Labor Day weekend before school starts.

So long....until next time

Pappie leaves early this evening for home and we left this morning to take the kids to camp.

Last photo before we left today. Hugs and kisses were given along with shouts out the windoed as we drove away, "LOVE you Pappie, thank you Pappie!" ❤

BBQ with friends

Sunday night we had the Curry family along with the Delamarters and the Hoerleins over for a good old fashioned bbq. Tina's parents, Ken and Joan brought their ATV's over and gave the kids rides on them around the neighborhood. This may have been the highlight of the evening. We had a fun relaxed evening with great friends.
