All past times of me aside, please read this unbiasedly.
As the tempmature dropped to about 20, me and my older brother put a layer of fresh water on the ice. Our backyard consists of a large pond, full of fish, ducks, and boaters in the summer, and skaters in the winter.
We waited serveral hours before it froze completely and decided to go for it. I walk outside, skeptic at my ice skating skills- its been so long, and grab my hockey stick.
We set up lights, and check the pond for any serious deformations to mark with cones. We are all pretty drone, considering the cold weather and darkness that still filled the air.
As we do this, the northern lights begin glowing in all their beauty. The mountain not a mile away is lighted up an vast spectrum of colors as the stars accent the sky. I stare at it, and just gaze into its beauty.
It honestly is the greatest moment in my life. I was almost in tears.
I just thought I would share this to you.
Please, if you have nothing serious to add to this thread, please dont.
