A Fabulous Day at The Lake!! (but then, ANY day at The Lake is fabulous...)

Sunny this morning, with a sky blue pink sunrise. There is no snow on the ice, which is mostly smooth, and it reflects the sky not unlike the water does. It's pretty neat.

After breakfast, KS and I went over to the neighbor's, B & E, for a visit. It was good to see them.

We went in to Hale, but the Fish store was closed *sad face*. And on the way back, we took the long way, around the lake. Some of the roads were solid ice. Eek.

I did garage chores--all is well in there--checked the outside of the buildings--ok, too--and got a blanket and sat on the deck and watched a guy go out ice fishing.

He drilled a couple of holes, and it looked like the ice is maybe 8-10 inches thick. At the second hole, he pulled up his line, with a fish!! Huh!! Something long and slim and silvery. I couldn't tell if he kept it or put it back in the hole...

By that time, I got chilled, and went in.

I fixed food for us, and we ate, and had a quiet rest of the afternoon/evening. We did go out for a "flashlight walk" with the nearly-full moon illuminating the earth. Very cool. We didn't see anything extraordinary, though.

Tomorrow is going-home day, probably mid-afternoon sometime.

Thank you for reading. Hugs.
