And just like that, the ice is out.
It went out yesterday while the rain lashed and the wind howled. When I woke up, there was about a third of the ice left. The wind had jammed it hard up against our shore.
It was completely gone when I got home at 3:30. When Henry noticed, he shouted, jumped, danced, and hugged with joy. "We have WATER, mommy!"
I am equally thrilled. After a long, difficult winter, it's good to see warmer, easier days coming.
