Sunday afternoon a couple of friends came out with their dog, Alix. This winter has been very strange, mostly mild, until the last week which was extremely cold so that the lake has finally frozen. It’s turning warm again now so I don’t know how long it will last, but Sunday we took a walk on top of the ice across the lake. From my house to the big square rock that I was swimming to most days last summer. It felt strange, walking where just a few months ago we had been swimming and in a few months more we will be again. It was like walking on clouds, a forbidden impossible pleasure.
Lila loved it. She kept running back and forth as if she had someplace important to go but wasn’t sure which direction it was supposed to be in.
It always gives me a thrill to see my house (nestled in the woods) from the lake:
You have such a gorgeous setting, Leya! I love the photo of the house.
