Incredibly it was just two weeks ago that we were totally inundated with snow and ice and now there is not a drop of ice on the lake or on the bay!! Amazing.... the ice was so far out into the lake two weeks ago. Now it feels like spring and I was able to walk out to the end of the jetty to try to FIND some ducks! All that was left was a flock of oldsquaws happily diving for food in the clear water. This is the view back to the bridge which will be shut down in another two weeks until November when it will again re-open. My five minute drive will then be 15 minutes.
The aforementioned oldsquaws -- ladies and gents. Tis the season for thoughts of love...

I can truly tell spring is coming though by the fact that I am feeling compelled to actually clean a bit around here (gasp, something must be afoot)! Must be the effect of actually sun shining down and exposing all those sore spots! I have cleaned up my snow dyeing area in the hopes that we might have just enough snow to do a couple more days of snow dyeing before calling it quits for the 2009/2010 season.
