Thaw of the Lake has Begun

    Wow a couple days ago we were in the high 60's f with sunshine which really got the thaw started. Since then still below 30's most nights but getting up into the 40's and 50's with mostly sunshine.

    Late yesterday we could finally see lake water across from us. Photos beginning with yesterday and ending with early this morning.

   The lake began to freeze across from us towards us and it is thawing in the same way




This morning early







I brought home these flowers the other day when I went food shopping-to brighten up the so many cloudy and cold days-a celebration that spring is near I put them in a corner of the kitchen so I could enjoy them there. one flower broke off so I put it in the little hand porcelein "glass"

  1. Great pictures, Kathy! I love seeing water instead of ice on the lake. Hopefully the eagles will return now. All the ice on the ponds here is gone now. A couple of warm 75 degree days took care of that. We loved getting out the door without a coat!

    1. I had one day where I could get up to the mailbox with no coat-was nice. We haven't gotten that warm yet. and we have a male eagle visiting this morning-singing away-loving it

  2. It is awesome to see ice for awhile and especially when it is a whole lake that is frozen over. I am sure that feeling wears off quick though and it is far better to see spring is on its way in and the cold will gradually disappear. Fabulous to hear that the eagle has returned to the area. keep well Amanda x

    1. The iced lake was really gorgeous at times, and with mostly cloudy days looked as cold as it was. It could stay iced longer if it wasn't for the concern of damages to everyone's docks and boats.
      take care

  3. Open water never look so good! Lovely photos
    Your flower arrangement looks like my table, always the smaller vase for the bloom that broke off.

  8. It appears I'm once again running behind visiting your blog. I'll be by tomorrow (Sunday) to catch up on what I've missed. At least that's the plan, anyway, Kathy.

    1. Good morning Debra, we are still below 30 in the evenings, but the days are warming up and most of the lake is unfrozen although ameron continues to lower the lake which is not good for the docks and boats-they to lower to make electric
