Lake Alexander


Over the last few days we have watched our lake slowly emerge from up under the ice. . .


We waited to see if we could hear the "groaning" that many say happens when the ice begins to move and crack, but alas, nothing.


We were also told that sometimes the ice will sink right before your eyes, and so we all watched carefully to see if we could catch that phenomenon~


We missed it!

We woke to a surprise this morning~the ice was gone!


Did we really spend months walking and ice-skating on this lake? I laugh at how quickly it seems impossible to believe we really did that.

With the soaring temperatures of 75 degrees it has been a marvelous day of playing outside. I even have a few brave children that donned swimsuits and waded in the water. I shook my head and laughed at how earnestly we are ready to embrace Spring!

Weirdly enough, it is 90 degrees here today. Ah, April in PA. We'll have a week of frosts or more again.
