News from Southern Missouri...

I have a wonderful friend from HS and college who now lives in rural southeastern Missouri. Having watched the news & weather reports for days now, I was fairly certain that they'd been hard hit with the winter storm out in their neck of the woods.

If anyone is curious as to how one survives such a storm in rural USA, you might take a look at Mary Ellen's blog. They raise Shetland sheep of many colorful varieties out in the hinterlands of the rural mid-west. She has only one photo of the ice on the trees, but that picture is worth a thousand words...
