The ice left our lake April 24th which is just a bit early in the range of normal.
It was unspectacular.
Some years, we are treated to delicate ice crystals dancing up on our shore line, some years winds push chunks of ice up as if there was a bulldozer on the other side of the lake. No matter how long it takes or how it looks and sounds in the process, the end result – beautiful blue – is one of my favourite views.
Our precious furry friend, Lindor slid quietly from us forever yesterday. He was 13 and his health had been in gradual decline over the last year or so.
Followers of my blog have seen him often in my posts as he was my constant companion. Usually on photo shoots, he stole the spotlight and either messed up my shot or created a hilarious diversion. Here are a few: Long-suffering Lindor, Ripple Reflection, Sparkle, Dance at Dawn, K9 Bath and my favourite Play with Me.
It seems fitting that he left us when there was still snow on the ground. He loved the snow and would seek out to ‘bathe’ in the smallest remnants of winter as spring moved in. His memory will warm us for seasons to come.
Looking forward to seeing the blue of fresh not frozen water!

This fall just as the lake was beginning to freeze over, a couple of branches collected frozen bubbles and formed a heart!
Last spring, I almost stepped on to this frosty heart just outside the door to our garage.
And I noticed this heart in a birch tree late last summer.
To me these are little messages of love from my Heavenly Father.
Happy Valentine’s Day.
There is an error the calendar in the previous post. In my haste, February had 31 days! Sorry for the inconvenience.
I have replaced the image in that post for those who are coming to it from other links.
