Snow Days!

I love the power of the snow to transform landscapes, making old places feel new. Yesterday I went to Griffy Lake and walked nearly across the entire iced surface of it, all the way to the spot where the geese where lounging in an open circle in the ice. Scores of ice fisherman dotted the frozen surface of the lake and sled and ski tracks were everywhere. Jimmy ice-skated through the snow and Toby chased him, nearly knocking him over multiple times. My mom and I cleared the powdery snow from the top of the ice with our boots and scooted around makeshift rinks in the waning sunlight.
