Spring day in January

Saturday was a sunny, warm, windless day here at the pond.  It felt like a spring day.

Mike telling me I would get a better picture if I stood on the ice.
He was telling me this as he fell in.  

A view of one side of the Y.
Mike and the girls cleared off a lot of the branches that were on the water
earlier this winter when the ice was really frozen.
They are hoping we will be able to kayak farther down this branch of the pond come summer.  

Can you find Gracie and Buddy?  

Mabel basking in the sun.  Something I haven't seen her do in months.
