The Ice is Gone

This year the bay was frozen longer than I ever remember it being frozen. But finally all the ice is gone and the bay is back! Of course, it is still VERY cold and I don't want to go swimming, but at least all the ice is gone.

It's Going, Going, Gone!

This is the last bit of our 6 foot snowbank that finally melted today. Most of the snow is gone, just the bits left in ditches and places the sun doesn't shine too brightly. It was even warm enough the last 2 days to be outside without a coat on! How incredibly lovely!!

It's Melting...

Or at least starting to! The temperatures are supposed to be in the 40's today (Yippee!) and that means the advent of the icicle in earnest. These are a few of the first "hanging around". I love it when the sun shines through them and they sparkle like glass.
