Oh, well, it was fun to think about. I got out on the lake today, the second time this year and the first time on open water. Dead calm and mist, about 40 degrees, and the lake still half covered. I really enjoyed all the goose music and the tinkle of ripples lapping on the edge of the ice. Come on, spring!
