The weather folks had been talking about it so much. Rain starting in the middle of the night, becoming freezing rain. Many counties arranged to open school on a two hour delay. As the morning went on it warmed just a tiny bit. With the slight warmth, the magic of ice covering everything vanished. I love that look. Ice creating a shimmer on everything in sight.

This, seedheads of Purple Coneflowers (Echinacea purpurea), on ice. Soon to be gone as the birds in the woods come to find a meal.
