In places, trees and branches were welded to the surface of the lake with long columns of ice:
Elsewhere, the ice had formed into delicate combs
The lake is decidedly frozen now, resembling a moonscape or desert with the light dusting of snow which fell today.
In the house, I'm sprouting alfalfa seeds to give myself something that's actively growing to look at, as a relief from all the ice and snow.

Wild ice formations!
I've been sprouting lentils for my hens lately, and they really seem to appreciate having something fresh to eat. They don't look at them for long ;)
I've never tried to sprout lentils. But now I want to! Do you just use the regular green grocery-store ones?
Yes, I've only used the green ones. My hens are on organic, but the regular (really cheap!) grocery store ones work fine. I put about 1/8 in a quart Mason jar, soak overnight, then just rinse a few times daily. I keep 2 or 3 jars going, so there is always a supply.
