Oh man...don't ever do that. Lick an icicle or a snowball but don't ever do THAT.

My favourite is #3. Perhaps I'm just hungry.

Linda Kage said…
Aww. Now I'm not so disgruntled about being frozen right now. The cocoa sure looks good. My nephew tried the tongue on the pole thing once; it really does stick in cold weather!

Living in Ice Block Colorado this year, I have to say number five is my favorite with a side of number seven.

Tracy Jo said…
Fun! We are getting a little snow here today...maybe I will head out to make my own snow angel. :-) Happy weekend!!

Angela said…
I must say I never saw a snow cactus (not even an everyday cactus outside in our areas). My daughter always used to make snow pigs. But ooh, I enjoyed the cup of hot chocolate!

Melissa Ann Goodwin said…
ooh that last one ... no good can come of that! Loved seeing the 10 in pictures too - you always make Fridays fun.

Great pics! I'm glad to say my kids haven't stuck their tongues to metal poles! Yay! (Knocking on wood...)

Julie Flanders said…
Great pictures, I especially love the snowman cactus! And I'm now dying to get home and have hot chocolate and snuggle under a blanket. I'm a devout winter hater but you've almost convinced me to change my tune.

Happy weekend, Carol! :)

I notice a lot more people giving credit to their images lately. I should do the same. I used to live in snowy Michigan and can relate to these pics. Brings back lots of memories.

Slamdunk - Not mine either, but this year it's been extremely mild :)

Misha - No spam filter! Yea!! Hope the photos made your heat easier :)

Clarissa - I know :)

Linda K - Yep. Boys - whatcha gonna do?

Luanne - So far we've had only a few cold days and nothing record breaking. Our orange tree has blooms. Shhh...don't tell the Weather Goddess.

Laura Eno said…
I adore that cactus! When I move to AZ one day, I plan on using them as reindeer substitutes in Christmas displays. #1 looks painful!
Enjoy your weekend!

I'm a summer person, but I'm in no rush to get rid of winter yet. I do enjoy it. :)

A top ten in photos! Absolutely awesome!

Jan Morrison said…
love these...it is snowy and icy and cold here at last. I'm going to curl up with a mystery (Ian Rankin's newest) and some popcorn I think. The stove is stoked and I'll have to take the mutt out but other than that - it is a true blue Sunday.

Those are all charming photos. They make me miss snow, although the soup and hot chocolate are doable.

Have a great week.
January 22, 2012 at 3:55 PM
Carol Kilgore said…
Holly - Thanks.

Jan - A perfect reading day :)

Medeia - I made myself miss it, too. Especially the sledding. Love that!

Stina said…
The last one is something my boys would do, especially if I just told them not to do it. My daughter is too smart to make that mistake. :D

Theresa Milstein said…
Careful kids in picture #1!

We've had snow here on and off the last few days. Winter is here!
January 22, 2012 at 8:10 PM
Carol Kilgore said…
Stina - Girls rock!

Theresa - Go make a snow angel :)

Loved, loved your pictures! Living in a tropical country how I yearn for your type of a winter!
