One of my favorite memories of childhood is when Long Lake froze solid enough to skate on and my dad took me skating on it. It must have been late November or early December. There was no snow. The ice was perfectly smooth. You could skate the entire lake safely. The trees were covered in ice that morning and I felt like I was in some sort of wonderland. I will never forget that day.
It cemented my love of ice skating. I will never forget it.
Sometimes as an adult I miss those carefree days. Then I remember how lucky I was to have that day at all.
I spent a day with my Dad celebrating his Birthday this weekend.
Dad, I love you and will never forget the love of ice skating & nature you brought to my life:)
Joni Mitchell described those emotions well.

Sarah McLaclan did it even better:
