Thin Ice

As planned, we went up to The Cottage in the Woods armed with skates prepared to practice our moves on Fish Lake. Alas, it was not meant to be. The last week was warm and sunny, and the lake, which last week was covered with ice fishermen and skaters, had turned slushy, and no one dared venture out on the ice.

Here's the "rink" in the late afternoon sun.

The spirit and flesh were willing, but the weather was weak. We had hot cocoa anyway, and had a wonderful time pretending that we'd had wonderful day pirouetting and carving graceful turns on the ice. Oh well, there's always next year.
