Pond Skaters

Last night there was a family skating on the pond. I could hear their voices when I was walking Lily through Precious Blood cemetery. I had to walk over to the pond and watch. When I was a kid I used to love to watch the skaters on the pond in my neighborhood. I'd sit on top of the warm radiator box in my bedroom and watch through the bare trees. I wanted to be in a Pieter Bruegel painting.
