... how freaking COLD it is in Roosevelt in January? So, obviously, I'm mostly talking to all you poor suckers who actually live here with me, but the rest of you can keep reading if you feel so inclined. However, instead of the long terrible rant I would like to go into today, I am going to try and live up to my "New Year's Goal" of complaining less. Thus, I am trying to see the sub-zero temperature for something other than the disgusting, unnecessary evil it is.
I am finding the beauty {enjoyed more from the warmth and comfort of my toasty living room, of course, rather than outside} of the frost and here are some examples...

No, that's not snow on the trees. It's frost. My driveway is also covered in about 1/4 in of the stuff that keeps falling off the trees. We should probably shovel it, but 1/4 inch hardly seems worth it.
If you click on this one and make it bigger, you may actually be able to see a little more detail. The crystalling {don't think that's really a word, but you'll just have to deal with it} pattern is really pretty.
That's right. We still have Christmas lights up. Don't hate us 'cause we're awesome.
These next few were taken before I went to work this morning {I know. It's a very cruel joke that I actually had to work on a Monday, but don't worry. I'll get over it.}, that's why it's dark. But you can probably see the frost better with that contrast of the black.
Again, don't be jealous because we still have our lights up and you don't.
The real reason is because it's too freaking cold to go out and take them down. So, we'll just play white trash and leave 'em up for a while longer.
There you have it. My pathetic attempt at not complaining. How'd I do?
Is it this cold where you live???

It is super cold here in the basin!!! Awesome pictures...I was thinking of taking some pictures of the frost but I decided against it because it was so stinkin cold...Did you know that if you blow bubbles in this cold of weather, they can actually freeze? You ought to try it!!!
Lights not just up, but ON. Awesome.
We've had some 70-degree days here. Yes, you may come and visit.
So our lights are still up too, and most of the people on our street as well. So you're not lazy or white trash (well at least because of your lights :)) it is just too stinkin' cold outside to go out and take them down. Let's face it, they're frozen on at this point.
Well our Christmas lights are up year round! Nathan has this thing that he has to be the first one to turn on the Christmas lights every year. It's good to know that we aren't the only ones. It is freezing in the basin and I really enjoyed your pictures!
SO - - let's see . . .
It was 75 yesterday, I rode my bide in shorts and shirt. We had a COLD front come through last night and woke to it being 42 and the high will be 65. Didn't ride today - - - too COLD and WINDY :)
The fog SUCKS!!! The crystals are pretty though, makes you feel like you live near Santa, don't it? I need to take some photos too--I like when the sun FIRST comes out and it sparkles but then it melts,so I'm working on my timing!
Not THAT cold, but cold enough. I am ready for spring and summer to come back.
Soooo ready.
Hi Alisa
This is Shirlene...I secretly read your blog! Hey, can you send me an email? I need to ask you something. shirlene.law@gmail.com

FIrst day of heat was yesterday and it was beautiful. My body didn't adjust well. I kept complaining about the heat after such a long time of complaining that we had none.
It's always greener grass on the other side.
I'm glad to see you're doing well!
