Letter "I" -- Friday's Weekend Roundup 12 and Reflections and/or Street/Candid Captures

For Tom, "I"ce". 

For James, Reflections and/or Street/Candid Captures.

You can see the frost build up and it was
defrosted a couple of weeks ago.

Starts with "I":  Our small freezer is beginning to be an Icebox, as it fills with frost way too fast.  I think perhaps the door seal has worn.  Icebox starts with the letter "I".  Read here, in Wikipedia, about the early iceboxes, "the non-mechanical refrigeration appliance".  I don't remember ever seeing one, as we lived on a farm and didn't get electricity until 1938.  At the same time the folks purchased a refrigerator.   

A Favorite: These are a couple of Ivory Carvings the Mrs. Jim inherited from a retired military officer's wife.  They sit on a bookcase shelf in our living room now.  Ivory cuttings are the death of the elephant many times because the illegal hunters kill for them.    [I may take another picture in the morning with better light.]

For Tom, the word, "Ice":  Ain't she cute! We got down to 22°F that night in 2007 shown here, so we dripped the outside faucets.  [Adi was our Beagle dog, she died in 2012.]

Look closely for the icicles. The piece of Ice you see sitting on the pipe was from a big icicle about 18 inches long that fell from the faucet and broke. I have a piece of it sitting on the sprinkler pipe. The other icicles are on that weed to Adi's left, your right.

A Lagniappe:  

"Blue Bell Light Homemade Vanilla" was our favorite for a long time.  Back when Blue Bell was shut down due to a bacteria run loose in their plants.  Finally, this Light variety, was the last to start production, months behind the regular flavors.  It was also Adi's favorite. (link). But after the COVID Blue Bell stopped making it.  That was when we stopped eating Blue Bell brand altogether.

For James, Reflections and/or Street/Candid Captures: Adi and I found this pretty pool on our walk this back in 2008.There was not a cloud in the sky that morning!
