Ice or No Ice

The lake keeps trying to freeze over....then it melts and tries again.

I like the way the ice reflected the sky.

Of Course I Did a Quick Video of It LOL

I always want to thank @ace108 for hosting the fine #beautifulsunday challenge. I look forward to participating each week!

I bought a Christmas cactus from the store
I re-potted complete with fake ladybugs

I thought I am doing a pretty good lazy man's Martha Stewart!


I had some leftovers for lunch...

I admit I had some turkey and too much of everything else. I will be back on track for Monday! Where is my Fiber One? lol

That's one crazy effect with the water contrasting against the ice reflections. And not only that but that is one unbelievably beautiful place you live in. I'm so jealous, lol! :)

Aww than you so much for such a sweet comment!!! I very much appreciate that!

Dude! Paul!! Do I spy fruitcake? Seriously! As your food monitor, I say enjoy a taste and pass it on! I couldn't resist mine either. I poured more brandy on the ones that are being cured.

Wow! That really looks like a feast for kings. I cheated and put some marshmallows in my yams. And brown sugar. And honey. A little butter. Oi! You win!

I love strange and odd hats. I do. The sunglasses totally rock it. I watched the video with you and the Ben kidlet playing on the ice, just waiting for one of you to go in. (I did that once when ice skating at night!) In the UP, I can take the short cut across the lake and save myself an hour getting to Escanaba. Cool beans! They make a path with orange cones. Yes, cars have gone in.

The ice looks like the clouds and makes or an amazing picture. I had to edit this because I cannot believe I forgot to mention it! Pfft!

A wonderful feel -good holiday post. I love the Christmas cactus, Martha It came out really nice.

Have a great rest of your night. One more airport run and I am done for the night! Thanks for the shout-out mention, even if it caught you in the food trap! LOL

Upvoted and Resteemed tip!

I know I heard your voice yelling telling me to go lightly with the fruitcake, and I did... More than half still in the fridge. I actually did my yearly fruitcake vid where you may have been mentioned in a positive way of course. I will put that out tomorrow for your viewing displeasure. I am back on the healthy eating starting tomorrow morning with the cold slop Fiber One - half a cup only, yes I know.

That vid was a couple of years ago. See I actually am like a modern day Benjamin Buttons and am de-aging. The docs dont understand it but all I can say is its nice :)

I am never totally comfortable way out on the ice. They can have a pickup truck in the middle, but Im still a bit wary lol. It makes these random cracking noises that make my heart skip a beat!

Oh yes you are knocking them down little by little lol. Glad you had a nice holiday with them! Yes indeed enjoy your night and thanks for the lolz as usual. I always shout you out so you can get huge and then upvote me muahahaha. Thats my plan to take over Steemit :) Bye bye.

But, I need your original content!

I wanted to do a #BeautifulSunday post but to be honest I sat my butt right near the computer today. lol It may not have been pretty to see but since I have the cooties from someone , it was nice to take it easy. :)

Knowing that little dot is a fishing boat really puts how big the lake is into prospective. The sky reflecting into the lake really is pretty.

Nice orange hat. My son wore mainly orange all through middle school and most of high school. He hates it now. But he sure was easy to pick out of a crowd back then. lol

Your cactus replanted is adorable. And those left overs are making me Hungry. I've not had much of an appetite today so they must really look good. :D

(Doesn't say anything more but nudges @dswigle to have a look.)

Oh, he is such a bad boy @debralee Not sure what we should do with him. You hold him down and I will think of something

I threaten to sneeze on him, I think he'll stay down there willingly until you come up with something. lol

Oh, yes! Brilliant!

hands Deb some tissue

Hey, Im just a harmless little teddy bear LOL! Cant we just make up and share a bottle of wine. Id hate to have to show you my deadly combination of wrestling and karate moves....Hi YA! Stand back ladies, you have never seen moves like this before! LOL Im big but Im fast and taught Steven Segal everything he knows!

Oh such a super nice comment!

I hope you are feeling 100% in no time. Plenty of hot tea and wine seems to help...or at least makes you think they did.

@dswigle will come on over, but I have to pay her 5 sbd first LOL!!

Thanks. I talked to a co-worker who also has the cooties, so I am pretty sure we got it from there.

You sure drive a hard bargain, Blondie.

If I smell a cough drop, I run the other way lol. I rarely ever get sick though lol.

I love this photograph, the reflection is beautiful, I agree! The cactus is pretty too! My son got me one similar on Friday, beautiful flower-cactus!

Hey Chris, great to see ya! I thought of you when I saw 9000 on BTC!!!! Hope you got a bunch!!

The guys out fishing reminded me of The Godfather movie. I was waiting for the gunshot! lol tip!

Oh yeah that was Fredo's last ride if my memory serves lol.
Much obliged, Sir.

Nice capture with cool cloud formations 👍🏽👍🏽

Thanks. Once the lake has been frozen long, it no longer reflects as nice.

It's impossible to not eat leftovers after a holiday. And do I spy fruitcake? So does the lake freeze over enough you can walk on the ice or do you just get a thin cover? That'll be really pretty when it does happen.

Some years it does and they have big ice fishing tournaments. Some years they have had to cancel because the ice is so then its not safe. If it does I will walk out and get you pics.

Here is a short silly vid from a few years back..

I like your perfect images, the way you manage your blog, it is a lot to learn. Thank you being a model!

Thank you for the kind words. I appreciate it very much.

What a beautiful place! You are blessed Paul! And I love your cactus I love it!

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it.
