The ice is getting mushy because it has been more pleasantly warm. The river is receding a bit. I had my wonderful, energetic swim, over a mile, and then went home for a walk, a short one, with my daughter and Charlie. Snow almost gone, we got so much rain. Possible snow this weekend. No writing today, but admin stuff. Errands and housecleaning and making dinner. We made together, me and Frank, baked cod, and we had a lovely family time, with my son dropping in for dinner as well. I felt so cheerful today and optimistic. Tonight, getting into bed with the little one between me and Frank to watch a tv show, I looked up through our big window high on the wall and saw the full moon hanging as such a bright orb next to a pine tree. I showed Wave, and he said he would like to eat it.
