We headed to the lake on Friday night and officially declared this past weekend the first of the spring thaw at Round Pond. The snow started dripping off the roof, revealing our long-lost skylights, and the lake took on a glassy hue as some of the melting ice puddled on top. It was warm enough for a nice walk Saturday afternoon although the road is still one big sheet of ice so it was tricky going. Again though, it was a relaxing weekend with few signs of human life aside from three brazen snowmobilers crossing the lake. Wildlife started to emerge with some chipring birds and a tiny fox wandering across the ice late Saturday afternoon. Long after he tucked himself onto the shore across the way, Merwin remained glued to the window on high alert.
