SNOW WAY!!!!

I'm sure you all heard that bizarre statistic on the news the other day about there being snow on the ground in 49 of our 50 states with Hawaii being the hold out. Just an insane thought, don't you think?

Even more insane are these photos of our hiking trip from the other day. Farmer B, the boys, the dogs and I headed out for a very chilly hike out to a pond not far from our neighborhood. Look at all the white stuff! And let's not forget that we live in Central Florida… Here are some pics from our hike.










So did I fool any of you? Even for a split second? Did I make you take a second look? Okay, so it was in the 50s, which is still REALLY too cold for my tastes and instead of snow we had sand, but when I looked at the pictures I was struck by how similar sugar sand looks to snow. I think our green snowless trees sort of gave it away, but it was a fun regardless.

Stay warm everyone!

Good try, but no snow. Looks like it was a great day for a walk.

Maaaaaaan... I didn't fool ANYONE? Sheesh. LOL.

That's funny. The sand looks just like sugar -- but no snow stays on the path and not the trees, sorry!

Nah... those of us suffering from the true sno-pocalypse can tell the difference

Okay, okay... I tried - LOL. I thought some snow-unsavvy southerner might fall for it though!

I was wondering! I saw the shrubbery and thought....really...? You fooler.

Erin said...

LOL....but we really all have had a crazy winter!

Ha-Ha, cute! My very first thought was, "That doesn't look anything like our snow." You all have it made down there in FL. Enjoy.

Now, wait a minute, did you get your puppy for Christmas? Maybe I did read about that.

Oh, and I did notice the sand right away. FlowerLady was saying how cold she was when it was in the 40s the other day. Our normal highs for this time of year are the 40s, but it's been in the 20s. Today, it got up to 39, and everyone was saying how nice it was outside. All I have to say, is when April gets here, I hope we have 60s and 70s.
