From the "unintended benefits of global warming" department, was it a glorious day in Blount Co. or what? It was 80 degrees at our house earlier today. On December 11th. At 5PM, it was still 72 degrees at Springbrook Park. A few more photos after the jump...
Did I mention it was a perfect 72 degrees? On Dec. 11th?

Don't get too comfy!
I remember once when I was a kid that it got up to something like 78 one Saturday. We were out playing badminton in shorts - barefoot. The next day, it snowed 4 inches!
the pupster looks great!
The pup sure looks like she is enjoying the day!
