Josie is fast asleep on a chair in the guest room while it is below freezing outside. 

A good place to be on a cold day.

She preferred to let the world go by that day.

The weather was cold enough so the surface of Gilbert Lake froze again. 

Then with light snow, the ice cracked overnight letting some water up on the surface.

Gee, it looks like the canals of Mars.

Do you suppose the Martians are jealous of the canals on Gilbert? 

If you see any UFO's, you'll know they came down to investigate.
