The End of the Ice Age


Sunset on a frigid early spring day.  This demanding winter raised fantasies of another Ice Age. What would it have been like for our ancestors living on the edge of ice when the first "summer" came and went without snow leaving the ground?  The Ottauquechee's ancestor streams were covered and scoured by those centuries of cold, carving today's valley.


After the last Ice Age, there may have been a day like this, with slashes of  water coming into the light.

Ours has been a hard 
winter, still full of ice, and 
it has seemed to last an age.
