Kinda hot for Christmas!

I just rode in our annual Christmas Parade yesterday. It was 85 degrees in the shade with high humidity. We couldn't even wear our uniform jackets because of the heat. My old horse already has his winter coat so he was pretty hot by the end of the parade. It just doesn't seem like Christmas when it is this warm.

Dudley, either you have somebody riding with you or you grew two extra legs.

Looks like fun. There's somethin' about 80+ that just says "sleigh bells" in my book.

No one is riding with me. If you expand the photo, you can probably tell that it is just the saddle fenders and straps that you are seeing.

Same here in florida. I did a hay ride last night. Got so hot and sweaty during setup and prep that i had to take a shower before the ride.

Should be in beach attire for xmas it looks like!

Seemed funny moving firewood to the front porch yesterday.

Saw a lady leave her big SUV running at lunch today when she ran into the store to keep it cool.

Sure is nice to be able to work outside in a short sleeve shirt in December, though. One of the perks of living in the South.

Yep, our Christmas plans include Kayaking in central Florida this year.

Not doing that here for sure.

Well, I'd like a nice snowman for the grandkid to play with, but you'd have to send it UPS. Priority Mail is too high.

Wow! That's weird. Yesterday I looked at that picture twice and was sure I saw an extra pair of feet dangling behind yours. Today, I look at the picture and see none of that. All I see is the heels of your boots. My old eyes are playin' tricks on me again.
