The beach front in February

This is the latest photo of our beach! The ice seems to have a way of moving things to it’s liking – and new landscaping appears. It’s amazing how the ice can move extremely large rocks. When the ice is forming it expands.  Having nowhere to go it shoves along the shoreline.  Some of these rocks weigh hundreds of pounds.  We wanted to rearrange some of the rocks this spring.  Our steps to the water had moved and we wanted to level them.  Now the steps are shoved back to where we can do the work without a lot of heavy lifting!  So it’s not all bad.
