The ice firshermen have departed the frozen lake where they had huddled on uptruned empty plastic buckets. The sun is bright on the flat expances. The icecicles on the eaves are dripping - the temperature is rising above freezing for the first time in several weeks. There had been a record snow fall this winter - 59 inches - but during the week after New Years the temperature rose and it rained all week and all of the snow pack melted. Everything that is out there now fell during the last three weeks.
On Round Lake once one of the summer residents built an ostentatous abode every one else had to follow suit. Now three story cabins barely fit on their lots. The primative cabins built only a generation ago now look so punny. There would have been condominiums too if the residents association had'nt suscessfuly banned the developers. Now they are safe - there is unlikely to be much new construction this summer.
