It warmed up this week and temperatures rose from 9 degrees into the high 40’s. The ice on the pond has thinned.
Maybe I shouldn’t be out here taking pictures.
***CRACK***
It is safer near the shore, but the good shots are out on the ice.
I opened the doors and ate lunch outside on the deck.
We Coloradans can enjoy a few more warm days until the next cold snap. Then maybe we’ll get some of my favorite white stuff.
SNOW!
Prepare to Be Typealyzed was my 200th post! Be sure to stop by and try it out if you haven’t already.
Are you still enjoying winter or are you looking forward to spring?

I love the cold air but we are free of snow for the time being. We had a few warm days and everything tried to bud out and then an instant freeze. However, nothing like what you have in your neck of the woods.

Snow came, temps made it go away along with the ice on the pond in Stanley Park. No worry. Next week in the 20’s w/ wind chill. Yippeee. Also check NYLON DAZE blog. Your photos and Patti’s give me a wonderful perspective on NYC and Col. Two places I’d love to commute between.
