Frozen Lake!

Bordering Linda's land is Oak Lake one of many lakes in Minnesota! (It being the state of 10,000 lakes of course!- actually its 14,215 but who's counting...). And I have captured many lovely photos of it during sunrises and cloudless days but now I have a new angle...as its completly frozen! It began yesterday morning with the edges freezing first. Then the ice creeped in gradually forming lines from one side to the other and when I woke up this morning the whole thing was covered! Last night I went down with my stick I stole from the north and managed to pierce a hole in the ice- however it was strong enough for me to put one foot on it and then lean my weight on that foot! However when I just went to check it its megger strong! I walked around on the edge for a bit (I know...slightly dangerous but if I do fall 'to my death' it would be in about 2 inches of water...being the edge and all!) so yar! The lake has officially frozen. When it gets about 4 inches thick its supposedly safe enough to ride the sled dog team on and when it reaches 12 inches thick a lorry can drive on it! So lets hope it stays frozen so we can get the sled out 😊
