We have enjoyed our wooden hot tub
since December 2008, but admittedly, not often enough. After a windy night and a long work week, the lure of soothing cedar-scented water helped us overcome the gravitational pull of our comfy couch and large TV. (
House Hunters International: "Have we seen Nicaragua?" "Um, yes we have." "France?" "Yup.") The air was still, the lake was frozen and the water was a perfect 98 degrees F. Great setting for a 40-minute soak!

Sunday's sunrise reveals a surprise:
The lake has mostly thawed. |
 |
| The air is above freezing, at 35 degrees F. |
 |
| A lovely January morning! |
 |
| Time for breakfast. |
 |
| And ready for the day and week ahead. |
