Today Gary and I took advantage of the bright sunshine and took a ride to Pymatuning Lake. I was a cold (30 degrees) but the sunny made it so much more tolerable. I think there is a simple, desolate beauty to a large body of frozen water. What looks to be a gray trail in the ice is really a pattern in the ice. This where the channel is and it melted and then refroze causing what looks to be like a trail.
The bottom part of this picture is where the ice melted, the wind blew the chunks of it toward the shore then they refroze causing it to be bumpy. In the sunlight it sparkled like a million diamonds but you can't see it in the photo.
Here's my honey in front of a little house by the dam wall. It was built in the 1930s as part of the WPA Project. Maybe that's what we need again. There is a very long stone wall that's amazing. Gary's grandfather worked on it. He said that if you were Italian then they made you cut stone even if you had never cut stone before in your life! 
Hmmmm......what could be behind this door????? 
This is the "Spillway" at Linesville. In the summertime there are huge carp fish that people feed. There are so many that the ducks walk on the backs of the fish. Today they must have been way under the water trying to stay warm and conserve energy!
I thought this was a cool picture of the frozen froth at the spillway.
Gary looks cold..........
So we came home and I made white chicken chili and chipotle cornbread and chocolate covered frozen strawberries for an afterdinner treat!
I hope you had a good Saturday!
