After the first frost here in Texas, these tiny, nature-created snowmen appeared around several plants in the pasture.
They seem to be the stems of certain plants growing under the live oaks. Anyone know what they are? They're very delicate and beautiful, but short-lived, melting away in moments once the sun finds them.

Aha--how appropriately named. Thank you for solving the mystery, sir. You should win a prize. How about some ice?
Ice? As in diamonds? It's like 20 degrees here and every one is complaining. I don't mind it at all. Gives me a reason to have a fire thereby satisfying my arson needs.
