After the thin layer of ice formed in the cold weather last weekend, C and his buddy threw rocks as far as they could, and some even made it to open water. A few were so heavy they busted through.
And each time he launched a small one, it would skid across the ice and make this cool “whirring” sound as it echoed through the water.
It was a fun game of rock throwing…
…at least until I made it clear to C he’s going to have to pull all the heavy ones out next spring.
But over a balmy 55-degree Thanksgiving weekend, the ice disappeared once again — as well as the rocks.
What’s the temperature where you live??

Have you turned the 2nd picture vertical?
Today I have to go Christmas chopping. Intially I started to go back and correct that typo. However, thats pretty much how I feel about the crowds.
It almost looks like it, doesn’t it?? I hope you got all your Christmas chopping done;)

I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We’re expecting a high of 60 today. Unbelievable. We usually have snow for Thanksgiving. I dug out a pair of my summer capris to wear today just because I could.

The only ice in our water is in our drinking glasses. Today I’m wearing a sleeveless dress and my 2 year old is running around bare-footed in the back-yard.
Ah Texas.

It was sixty and sunny in Iowa, where we travelled for Thanksgiving. It’s rainy, cold and gray in Portland, Ore. 48 degrees.

Yup, I am in Texas too. Our Thanksgiving was absolutely beautiful!! A high of 77, short sleeves and outdoor games. But I do think it would feel a little more-I don’t know-winterish if it would actually drop below 60. Beautiful pictures, thanks for sharing!

You warm-weather bloggers make me jealous! Thanks for chiming in though.
And Wacky — the rainy, cold and gray comes by here sometimes, too.
