Today I am thankful for ice skating ponds! The boys and I got to spend the afternoon skating on our neighbors and our ice pond. Keith spent 4 hours yesterday clearing of the small layer of snow so we could skate today. Then of course after all the work shoveling ans sweeping it snowed about an inch last night! But he got out there this afternoon and swept it, then we got to get out there and skate. It is so relaxing just skating around our little pond. That is when I feel life feel like I live in a Hallmark Card, of course in my mind I am wearing a beautiful flowing skirt, with a fur ruff coat and a Christmas lights twinkling to cast a glow on the ice. I mean isn't that the image on every Hallmark card? Growing up I always wanted to Ice skate. That was my favorite part of Olympics to watch. But living in Zambia where ice was not a normal occurrence I didn't get much chance to skate. But I love the fact that now I have my own skating pond right outside my front door! And it's free except for the work we have to put into shoveling after any snowfall. I am so thankful for being able to skate and enjoy time outside on the ice skating pond! I am also thankful for my husband who spends hours shoveling and clearing the snow just for his families fun!
