Spring is Here!

...And we went for a family walk.  The sun is shining and our lake should be melting some time in the next month or two.  Our snow may even be gone before May! : D  I love spring!
It's amazing to me how you can lie without telling an un-truth.
;P While all of that is true, these pictures are from a family walk we went on if February.  Our lake is still frozen over, but the ice is rotting and not safe to walk on - It should be all cleared up probably some time early-mid May.  And our snow might be all gone before May - next week is before May, isn't it?  And I do love spring.
 Our lake has been doing the weirdest things this winter.  It's called ice-jacking.  We've never seen it before in the 16 years we've lived on this lake, but apparently it's quite common farther south.  I could give you a long, convoluted explanation, but frankly, I don't truly understand it myself.  The ice "jacked" up  in vertical walls up to 8 feet high all the way around the lake.  We had to chop a pathway through the wall just to go skating.  At one point, the ice "jacked" in a line right across the middle of the lake resulting both in this super cool cave and in a pool of water that came up through the crack.  A pool of water which my *ahem* *cough cough* um, we'll just go with "adjective".  A pool of water which my "adjective" brothers decided to go swimming in.  In December.  I'm sure I'm not related to them!  They just followed us home one day - they must have!

Well, I just wanted to show you a little of the cool art that God did on our lake this winter.

In His grace,
Laurel

P.S. That "adjective" about my brothers was not a bad adjective.  It's just that I'd have to do twenty push-ups for calling them words like: irresponsible, stupid, or brainless.  You can die that way!
