December flower.
On the second day we had heavy rain, almost two inches.
December Green.
On the third day it was clear and sunny, but very windy with westerlies that blew sticks and branches all over the yard and actually blew over a standing dead tree in the pasture. The dogs helped with the clean up. I would throw a stick in the woods. They would bring it back.
On the fourth day it was cold, in the 20’s, and all the standing water from the rain froze as did about half the pond, no wind no rain. When a sudden freeze happens, especially to wet soil, ice flowers form. They appear in bare soil in shady, mossy spots.
December cold.
Ice Flower.
On the fifth day it snowed. We left, having sampled the entire weather palette there was no reason to stay longer, and we were afraid that locusts might be next.
December Snow.
