Stunning. But global warming made the calfing possible. ☺

[HiJinx]

Oh, definitely!
They are truly impressive.

How’s Maine?

I know it’s relative, but I’ve gotta echo Connie - it’s cold here! It got all the way down to 30* this morning. We’re not used to that in November.

[mylife]

Ohhh

Can I go?

[MS.BEHAVIN]

I’m trying to figure a way to get us there next time you visit.
I wanna go, too!

[mylife]

38 here tonight but t shirt weather during the day.

Like 68.

[mylife]

Is there a hrydoplane ferry to there?

[mylife]

Ok, I really got to go find pillows.

[TASMANIANRED]

[TASMANIANRED]

Thumbs, they have thumbs.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Boy oh boy.....that is one funny looking ice cube! It looks like holes were drilled for explosives. Weird!

[MS.BEHAVIN]

*HUG*
Nitey nite!
Yes, there is a ferry that goes there.

[TASMANIANRED]

Evening Jinxy.. Hugs.

[HiJinx]

It only got up to about 40 this afternoon, with high winds screamin’ down the canyons.

It was a good day to stay indoors.

[HiJinx]

Hi, Taz!
Bye, Taz - time to call it a night.
See you tomorrow, I hope.

[MS.BEHAVIN]

That’s pretty cold for your neck of the woods!
It gets down to the low 20’s at night, mid to upper 30’s during the day, so far.
January is a cruel month for temps up here.

Mine was really low key...I’m in California on my annual Thanksgiving vacation. I used to live here and come back every year to visit with my best friend here. She made a little turkey for sandwiches, but got me 3 turkey legs. Had the last one tonight...just as delicious tonight as the other two. I fly home Friday.

Sounds like yours was good too.

[MS.BEHAVIN]

Aloha Big Guy!
this one's for you!
