Warm Weather (for awhile) & First Bonfire of the Year

A couple days ago it got up in the high 30's and the roads were clear so I headed over to play on Strawberry Hill. Where this warm weather went, I have no idea . . . everyone at work always blames me for the return of cold weather, claiming it was me riding around the island that ended the warm streak . . .

The ice looked like a giant sheet of stained glass.

Last night Goldfish, Chico and I joined Joe and Max for a bonfire on the beach with hotdogs and marshmallows. Eight or nine years ago on this very spot I was at another bonfire; I had flown out to Unalaska to visit Goldfish and I remember the sea lions bellowing in the darkness, attracted by the flames.

I am smiling over "the 30s" being described as a warm streak.

The ice looks like glass indeed what a great picture. Thanks for sharing it.

Something to be said for a good fire, especially on the beach!

Beautiful! Bonefire on the beach - reminds me of when I visited WA state. Can't do anything like that here in FL - you'd get arrested.
