Evaporating ice cubes

It is kind of creepy, but every time I go to use some ice cubes, I find that they have evaporated in my freezer.  Is it some side effect of a "frost-free" freezer?  Does it suck up moisture?

Finished My beloved world, by Sonia Sotomayor.  I thought she meant Brooklyn or New York or her life in general.  At the end of the book she prints out in English and Spanish a poem by Jose Gautier Benitez.  Puerto Rico is referred to as "my beloved world".  I loved the book.  She is a successful single woman who came from a poor family and ended up on the Supreme Court.  I cried at one point when she had to take several forms of public transportation to get to Radcliffe to decide on a college.  She didn't like it at all.  It made me cry remembering how my mother took me around to all the colleges.  When she was at Princeton as a student, a friend said, "You must feel like Alice in Wonderland!"  Sonia replied, "Who's that?"  So, she had a lot of cultural and class differences to overcome.  And yes, she did go to college under Affirmative action but look what she made of herself.

I never do anything with my yard.  If I cut off the dead stuff, my yard energy is done.  Now some people moved in downstairs and I said he could do as he wished  in the yard.  Everytime I come home now, I say to myself, "What in the ?#?#?#??"  We have pots, we have rims around things, we have Italian figures, we have driftwood....  I did have to say something about the totem pole (?)  I said I couldn't stand looking at that horrifying image unless he wanted to put it up to scare the neighborhood children.
