because a hard freeze just wasn't bad enough


...last night we had freezing rain.

It had already started to melt when I got up this morning but everything was still encased in ice.

On the upside, it was all very pretty and I think maybe, as bad as the redbud looks, that it will actually be OK once everything melts.

And I think maybe the plumerias will be OK after all. Might have to prune a couple of them back but, they needed that anyway.




the cedar tree looks like a ball gown with a hoop skirt

  2. Hopefully everything survives; sometimes the coating of ice is protective? But oh those fruit tree blossoms...
    At least it's beautiful and your power hasn't gone out (*sound of knocking on wood*).

  5. Don't they encase the fruit crop in ice to protect it? Here's hoping.

  10. Oh I’m sorry.
    Keeping my fingers crossed that not too much damage has been done. Blossom is very tender; if these were my fruit trees there’s be no fruit this year.

  11. Oh my -- the cherry blossoms look so fragile with a coating of ice. Love the cedar tree -- your description is so apt.

  12. Beautiful for sure but it's painful to see those blossoms under ice. I hope it survives. And the beautiful cedar will lift its skirts again.

  13. Nature can be cruelly artistic at times.
