I was going to whine

[valis2]

about my lack of sleep woes and the eleven phone calls between 6:45 and 10:30 but you've heard it all before.

11-16-09


And here it is on 12-8-09. It iced over, all beautifully rippled. Now it's snow-covered, but I've left before dawn and come home after sunset, so I'll have to wait until the weekend to get new pics.


The view to the right. You can now see more of the pond because the birch tree shed its leaves. The pond is shaped like a large backwards letter "C."

Oh, pretty! I can't wait to see it with the snow, too.

[valis2.livejournal.com]

Yes, me too! It--like the mountain of laundry--will have to wait for Saturday. :)

It looks so relaxing. When I see a scene like that I always think "home".

[valis2.livejournal.com]

Aw! Yes, it's hypnotizing to look at! Too bad that we can't really see it during the work week because of the short days. :(

It's so amazing to see the changes--almost like having a nice peaceful pond of my own!

[valis2.livejournal.com]

Aw, that's so awesome! I like that--sharing the pond with my lovely flist! *hugs*

... Will you skate on it? =D

[valis2.livejournal.com]

hee! Husband's grandma and siblings used to, actually. I don't think I have my skates anymore, though. :(

[idleleaves.livejournal.com]

Dang. :(

... Actually, I don't have any natural-ice-suitable skates, either. Can't use fancy figure skates on outdoor natural ice--it ruins the blades.

That looks like such a great place to go ponder something.

Like what to do with a duck and a rubber hose...

A pondering pond, lol! That's a great idea. *grins*

But I still want to hear about how you got eleven phone calls in 4 hours. And how many of them might have been people trying to tell you aluminum siding or carpet cleaning services.

*hugs in return*

They were all calls from my sister, subrosax, my WI friend, and my mom. Nothing too serious, but still, I was on the phone nonstop for hours, and I really had wanted to go to bed early. :(

Ooooh frosted pond pics! Lovely! I can't wait for the fist snow pics (although I'm sure you won't be as thrilled :))

[valis2.livejournal.com]

I am so grumpy that I missed the first snow pic! I have to wait until Saturday, when I'll be home when it's actually light out.

Glad you liked the pics!

I'm new here, and have not heard it, so whine away, sweetie. :)

But the pretteh pictures, they are so pretteh.

[valis2.livejournal.com]

heh. Don't worry--even with me withholding the whine yesterday, there will be plenty more to go around. ha!

Glad you like the pictures! :) *hugs*
