Frozen Cattails

“I wonder if any part of the lake is frozen.”

Bundled in many layers, we went out to check. 

The wind kept stirring up the water, as it resisted the 19 degree temperatures, tossing and turning.

The water would not just sit still long enough for the frigid air to settle it down into solid stillness.

We found frozen cattails, but no frozen water.

For over an hour, we just kept walking around the lake.
