Early Ice

Here's some early ice on the lily pad pond on the way to work. These days it's getting harder and harder for the thin layer of ice to dissipate in the late fall sun. The weatherman says the road ahead, for the next week, is snow free, but you know him. Over Thanksgiving, we'll see some old friends we've missed in awhile. We're looking forward to that. The house will be sweet-smelling this evening. Elenka's culinary arts will be on display. Rumor has it an apple pie and a pumpkin-pecan number are on the agenda. They'll go a long way towards skimming the ice off this pond, at least in my mind.

  1. Have a good time with your friends on Thanksgiving.
    .. and yes.. a bit too early for the ice to form.

  5. Yes, our nights are well below freezing these days, and water in ponds, sloughs, and lake shores is starting to freeze. Enjoyed your photo of leaves frozen in the ice.

  11. Do enjoy your Thanksgiving. Our temps are in the 60's for the high. Too warm, I think.

  12. Frost on the pumpkin here and crisp blue-sky days. I can take the cold as long as the sun shines. xx

  14. I was out at noon this afternoon, with the temperature at 44 degrees and I came across shallow water with ice still on it. It seems awfully early.

    Have a fine Thanksgiving.
