In early December, my sister in law, Melony, and I came across these icy formations in the grass on a particularly cold morning. They were paper thin and fragile. Neither of us had ever seen them before and my best guess was that they were a frozen spider web. It's been a mystery ever since.
Then today I happen along this post and - mystery solved. According to Wikipedia they are frost flowers and are formed when thin layers of ice are extruded from long stemmed plants in early winter.
How neat is that?

Summer 2007. I drive (and sing, embarrassing!). Ava naps. Jack cries. JD makes funny movie.

On the old highway maps of America, the main routes were red and the back roads blue. Now even the colors are changing. But in those brevities just before dawn and a little after dusk—times neither day nor night—the old roads return to the sky some of its color. Then, in truth, they carry a mysterious cast of blue, and it's that time when the pull of the blue highway is strongest, when the open road is a beckoning, a strangeness, a place where a man can lose himself.
