I’ve spent quite a lot of time outside today and it has ‘filled my cup’. The sun has been sending its warmth to melt the snow and encourage new growth to consider popping above ground after many months nestled in the dark earth. I have a renewed sense that winter is beginning her farewell tour.
The ice has heaved a little more this morning in this particular spot. It great to have the opportunity to see the progression of the thaw each day.
The photograph below is 12 km further south along the shore and the view my little grandson sees as we walk home from school to his house when the weather allows…it’s quite a trek for a four year old…but how lucky is he?
The cracks in the ice surface have begun to appear at this location but the fishers are still out there fishing for a long as they can. I think the ice fishing will be done in the next week…at least the commercial huts should be off the ice. That probably won’t stop the risk takers just yet though I’m afraid.
