Ice out! Almost.
But the river here at Pleasant Valley is still frozen. There’s no longer ice at Point Shores though. The mouth of the Powow River is even clear. The stretch of river to Hatter’s Point is open too. The current runs swift past Goodwin’s Creek and Maudslay Rocks. And although the run along the Valley is still iced over, the surface is slush and tentative. Any minute its world will let go. Winter will be in the sea and spring freshets will swirl. This is the way of the river, inevitable and brilliant. God, I love this time of season.
