Kiss The Frog 4 Me: Favorite Foto Friday #75

We are still UP as the theme goes this week, but have been DOWN as far as communication with the outside world this week! We have experienced a major ice/snow storm here that has left us without internet connection, telephones or cable television since Tuesday. Most neighborhood roads are impassable with ice and trees down. We are very lucky that we have power since more than 175,000 people in our area are still without it since early in the week.

I was finally able to get out of our neighborhood this morning and am at work catching up and thought I would update so we could all link to FFF this week. Since I am without my home computer and pictures, please go HERE to see what I would have posted for my post today. Sabra shows it so well what beauty and destruction we are looking at outside our windows! I am "borrowing" one of her beautiful pictures to tease you into going over to look at more...

Here is Mr. LInky! Sorry he is late!!

Next week's theme is MELT! OK... selfish theme for me... but I am praying for the big thaw and thought it might send good vibes our way to have all of you post your favorite MELTING pictures! Could be fun!

And my guess is that I won't be able to use anything current for the "melt" theme! Oh I can't wait for spring!

Travel safely and stay warm! Happy Friday!; January 30, 2009 at 1:37 PM
