Frozen Lake

I looked out my window this morning and could see that Chocolate Lake was frozen. How did I know this? The neighbours who back on to the lake had started shovelling out rinks over the frozen ice. One group even had the family dog out on a leash, pulling the kids on their skates around the ice. 

I skates are back home, so instead of skating I went for a walk to the park and walked on a frozen lake. It looked something like this:

I used my foot to clear off a little tiny patch of snow and checked out the ice. It was good ice, very smooth. I kind of wished I had my skates:

It was perfect skating weather too- sunny and cold. Lovely. Too bad it's going to warm up and rain on Tuesday.
