Off The Ice

Time and this ice shack have sprung ahead. With warming temps, MLB spring training in full swing and March going mad can spring be far behind?

"Hello? Hello? Anyone out there?"

  1. Today the sun is shining and it's sort of warm. Tomorrow the rain begins again and will last all week. Spring is coming.

    Have a fabulous day. ♥

    1. Yikes, more rain, blech. I haven't even checked and have been holed up with this ungodly cough...looks like 37 and partly cloudy tmw and things looking UP from Wednesday through the rest of the week. Hip hip and all.

  2. That would not be a good place to be stuck in!

    1. At least it's not a porta potty (I don't think).

  3. For you, I hope spring will come soon, because in the scene you're showing it looks like deep in winter! Also thanks for your comment last week about skating - same here. After my mid twenties I have not done it, so I would also be black and blue trying it now - but it's still fun to watch though:) Thank you a million for linking up with All Seasons and hope you have a warming-up week!

    1. That was a few days ago and around here it could be in the 70s already. Today, Tuesday, just a few stubborn piles of snow left and promises of a great, warm day tomorrow, J.

  4. A shack for ice or to sit and fish? It looks like we might actually get continuous rain over the next two weeks. Yay! The mountains on our eastern side have yet to get green. Maybe for Spring.

    1. That's right, fishing in luxury. We could get rain, snow, sleet, sunshine, really who knows. Tomorrow is supposed to be nice, though.

    2. Oh, you mean to store ice, lol. On the ice to sit in out of the cold and fish through a hole in the ice, I never did anything so fancy.

    1. It was well on the way to the present thaw in this photo even though it's a little hard to tell. I'm just hoping the temps keep rising until it sticks at 70 for ever.

  6. Well I am hoping for at least one more good snow before Spring officially arrives. And I think the gang is too!

    1. I could do without it, especially since I never did find a good pair of winter boots this year.

    1. I'm sure I couldn't afford the rent since it's (or was) on the water.

    1. Not as cold as you'd think, especially if you're trapped inside.

  9. That ice shack looks claustrophobic to me -- and cold too. We've only ever seen them once and it was Fall so they were just stacked up waiting (we were visiting Bill's sister in Bemidji -- I am sure they use them well and often in their winters. Anyway, I hope you are right -- for your sake (and my SIL's) -- that Spring is not too far behind.

    1. I've seen some pretty elaborate ones but if you've gone out shackless with a manual drill in sub zero temps it seem cozy.

  10. What is that? Is that for fishing thru a hole in the ice?

  11. So that is what the shacks look like that you fish in? COOL....

    1. It's pretty typical, maybe a little fancy. I've seen some much larger ones and fishermen going old school out in the elements. I wouldn't turn down sitting in one if offered and it probably goes along with cans of beer and some hot stew.

  12. Looks like it's time for the shack to return to its waiting place til the next winter. Love the shot!

    1. Haha, I think it might snow or storm but I personally wouldn't step foot on the ice again until next year. I think the little shack is lucky to be off the ice and on its way home, Betty.

  13. Snow today. 60s on Thursday. Weird weather!

    1. What is UP with that, I mean it's kind of fun but doesn't it begin to get to you after awhile? Pretty sure it's global warming, but it also means things like a crazier amount of extra bugs and more possible flooding. I think tmw will be gorgeous though.

  14. We were excited for summer in this side of the world but rain came in for a visit :)
