Another sign of spring...

The annual "exit of the river ice" has occurred. Unfortunately, however, it decided to sneak out during the night, so for the first time in 7 years, we totally missed it :-( Oh well, there's always next year. It seems strange to look down at the river and see brown instead of white. Then again, it's nice to not see much white anywhere, because surely that means that soon there will be green, and flowers, and all of those nice things that make us want to be outdoors more! Hurray!
