Baby it's Cold Outside!

We woke up at 3:48 this mornin' to a loud BOOM!
Lightining had struck very close to home & all the babies were screaming.
It seems lighting can strike even in December?!
Our garage door/home alarm remotes are no longer working, however our electricity is so we are feeling very blessed.
It seems we are in for ice, not beautiful white snow : (
Here's the view from our lil' world this morning...

Great Grandpa's Picnic Table...

Our maple out back...

Really low power lines in the back pasture...
