Raspberry ice: To keep raspberries at Afton Apple in Afton, Minn., from being damaged by the first frost of the year, an alarm sounds when temperatures drop. The owners then irrigate the fields, coating the plants with a protective layer of ice.

Zorro's new cape: Zorro, a rutting bull elk at the Wildwood Park Zoo in Marshfield, Wis., signals to a cow as he drags about 50 feet of orange plastic snow fencing tangled in his antlers. Zoo workers and a veterinarian removed the fencing after shooting him with a tranquilizer dart.

[Kathy in Alaska]

I thought they would freeze, but they just put "ice blankies" on them, on purpose!

Prayers every day for Karen and all of her unit. Thanks, Karen, for your service to our country. And thanks to all your family too, and your Gramma for sharing you with us.

It's probably too late, but you can save it for tomorrow, just in case I'm late again.

Good Night Blessing for the Troops

Blessings on you this evening 
May the stars in heaven
light your way into the
Milky Way of dreams 

May your day tomorrow 
be filled with love 
laughter and joy... 

Taking away all heart ache 
left stinging... 
and unclouding your vision 
for clear sailing...

A friend of mine who claimed some connection to the Druids once told me that the blue rose was a symbol for forgetfulness, a la Faust.

WoW I love that color blue, like a cobalt blue. I love it so much I did not even notice the diamonds. LMAO
