I
Tinkling ice.
Some time during the later stages of the month of May the ice would come off of the lakes. Sometimes it happened suddenly and other times it took a little longer but once the lake ice turned black it could be only a matter of days or hours. There was no finer sound then laying in the dark of the cabin at night and listening to the tinkling of the ice needles, then within a matter of days once the ice was gone the morning was filled with the song of the loons.
