Stone Soup by Jan Eliot for December 22, 2013

Your arms going to be stiff tired, Alix.

Yup.

Max and his favorite cousin sharing umbrellas, snowman and fun.

Is the pooch pooping?

If you stuck the umbrella in the snowman’s head, he could hold it up himself! And don’t be surprised if Biscuit returns the favour by piddling on your bed, Alix…

Up here in Northeastern PA, it’s 65° and raining. But the rain is coming in sideways.

Here in Northern Virginia our thermometer reads over 70, and its just spritzing.

Biscuit is not going to happy being left out from under the ‘brelly’ ! !

Kindness to others at Christmas. I like.

Merry Christmas.

So Sweet!!

-26ºC here in Darkest Saskatchewan (-16º in Foreignheat terms), and the light snow has ended. Our temperature is supposed rocket up to an amazing -23C. Woo Hoo!Or not…

Good job Alex!

We have freezing rain today, and I just got my power back. Today would not be a good day to stand outside trying to protect a snowman.

At least Alix trying to save frosty and Biscuit just move. Alix your arms will get tired.We had in KS icy rain, sleet and snow. Parts of KS received more snow our location not as much the ice we have issues with. Just happy no power outage as OK received. School is out so no cancellations there. Lot of churches no service.

Perfect for the Pacific Northwest. The little girl across the street built a snowman on Friday morning. By late Saturday it was all washed away.

“She” not he!

Note how in Comic Strip Land, water flows downhill only where the author wants it to. If water can drip off the left side of the blue umbrella on to Biscuit, it ought to drip off its right side and the left side of polka-dot on to Alex. Not so in the funny pages.

This is so heart warming for all (except Biscuit). This scene really shows Alix’s personality.

By the way, the polka-dot umbrella is dripping on right side of the snowman not on Alix because rain slides down the most slanted side of the umbrellas. Makes sense to me.

That is a great big sister.

Biscuit could move over if he wanted to stay dry, but he might prefer to spread that delightful “wet dog” aroma throughout the house.

Merry Christmas!

My sentiment today, exactly. All the snow is melted because of the rain and high temps. Makes me sad
