The lake is unfrozen, but the ice coating the breakwall is still solid. This was a weed of some sort last summer. I think it had little yellow flowers on it, which caused me to spare it the day I was weeding saplings out of the crevices in the rocks. Now the spray from the wind-driven waves has covered it with a thick shield of ice, as if nature were dabbling in cryonics. It may indeed bloom again in the coming spring, but perhaps only if it has entrusted its seeds to the wind.
"Cast Your Fate to the Wind" is an American pop standard written by Vince Guaraldi, with lyrics by Carel Werber, which won a Grammy Award for Best Original Jazz Composition in 1963. The song has been extensively covered, often by easy listening groups such as Sounds Orchestral (who scored a #10 US pop chart and #1 US Easy Listening chart hit with the tune in 1965) and the West Coast folk-rock band We Five. The song was also featured on Guaraldi's own album featuring his versions of music from the film Black Orpheus. (Wikipedia)
