After weeks of flooding and tenderly caring for this box of water, my husband excitedly announced one evening that the ice finally froze. We were the proud new owners of an "indoor" rink under our seasonal house at the nursery. We suddenly also became proud owners of skates and hockey sticks and all the paraphernalia that goes with the whole project! With only half of us ever donning a pair of skates, we carefully held one another up and slid gingerly upon our beloved masterpiece. A few bumps, falls, pouting lips and rests along the benches were to be expected. However, we all thoroughly enjoyed our first of many frigid excursions. After some hot chocolate with mini marshmallows, we were ready to pack it in for the day. Come sweet winter; we can find joy in your frozen depths as much as any balmy day.
