"Precisely by slicing out this moment and freezing it,

all photographs testify to time's relentless melt." ~ Susan Sontag

This week, NOAA announced that the Great Lakes are

91.85% frozen

breaking a 40-year record. 92.98% of Lake Michigan is covered in ice.

How is it possible that in less than two months our boat will be moored off these shores!

How bittersweet to leave our sunny kitchen this morning, knowing that on Monday, the darkness will have returned. I welcome Daylight Savings Time, an early harbinger of spring. I long to return home in time to take twilight walks to enjoy sunsets from our deck. Though I will miss these shining mornings, I'm thankful for the changing seasons as long winter nights stretch into bright spring days.
