Winter splendor

Mother Nature provided a picture perfect start to 2021, with a beautiful coating of frost on the trees. Meteorologists explain the coating of tiny white needles is called rime ice.  Fog is made up of tiny water droplets, and when temperatures are below freezing, like they were over the weekend, those droplets will freeze to solid surfaces like trees, creating the beautiful needles of rime ice.

For all its faults, 2020 inspired, challenged us

by Marianne Gasaway

It’s tempting to start the new year by blocking out the old one as quickly as possible.  But if we did that, we’d be shortchanging ourselves.  For all it’s faults, COVID-19 seemed to unite, inspire and challenge our community in a multitude of positive ways.
