Living on our coast is a lesson in extremes. We love to brag that you can bask in the sun on the beach, then travel to the mountains for an evening ski. The same goes for our winters - it's either freezing, or mild with terrential rain. Last week was no exception. As I type this, it's pouring on our skylights, our path to our home is a mudpit and new life is springing up everywhere I look.
A stark contrast to last weekend - day after day of dry, freezing weather resulted in hours of play on Josephine Lake. The local watershed was a beautiful spot to spend our morning, with Mount Gardner in the background. The ice was crystal clear in areas - it was like walking on glass.
We noticed on our drive later that same afternoon, that every little pond or lake we passed, had evidence of ice skate blades. We have very few of these days on our coast, so you need to make use of it quick before everything melts and spring rushes in.
