Ice on the Pond

The other day it was 65℉
The other day I ran in capris
The other day I sat outside with my tea and listened to the birds
I heard a whooping crane
The children stripped out of their clothes and played

Today there is ice in their mud kitchen
The water toys are frozen over
Standing water left after the thunderstorm
That ushered in the cold front
The pond has turned to ice
With a little pink plastic lawn mower on top
