Ice Almost Out!

I love to watch the water sparkle with sunlight! This is our pretty view on the lake side of our home. Just a bit more ice to go along the west & south shore of our lake which should happen before the sun goes down.
Here is what it looked like 4 hours earlier from down by the shore.
Once it gets started it goes quickly! Some years it just seems to disappear... other years the wind blows it down to one end of the lake and I can watch it move.

This picture was taken on Monday evening from our screen porch. I heard my first loon calling on Monday morning so I knew there was open water on the lake somewhere! You can see the open pockets of water but the ice around them was still a few inches thick.
This is the latest ice out we've had in the 11 years we've been on the lake. Now to get the dock and boat in! Can you see why my quilting time decreases in the summer?
