The Ice Man Cometh and Lucas Walketh!

Above is the view from our deck taken yesterday. The trees are tired.

The clump of foliage in the lower right hand corner is actually flattened bamboo. Poor bamboo- he is really getting his resiliency tested.

These little ditties (above and below) were captured on my digital camera, so there is no sound. But you can see that the little guy is walking! Sorry that the one below is sideways- I wasn't thinking about the fact that I was shooting video (and so flipped the camera) and not a photo (which is easily flippable). I could probably flip it but we have a software conflict issue as yet unresolved.) The items hanging out of the bottom drawer are cloth diapers. Lucas empties the middle and bottom drawer of that dresser out everyday.

Despite the ice storm we are hanging in there - I have not left the house since last Saturday- but at least we have plenty of food, electricity, and Lucas to entertain us!
