First day of the year, day of firsts

Today, we had lunch at the lake, in the car at the lake. A swan sat just beyond the shore. As Lunch continued we realized the swan wasn't moving other than his neck. The swan was frozen in the lake. Every few minutes he would struggle with no success. We wanted to help but there was nothing that could be done. 1st swan frozen in place.

We went for a walk to enjoy the snow before flying to Puerto Rico on Saturday. On our walk we saw a sunbow. What is a Sunbow? It is a rainbow without the rain. It was faint yet beautiful red, orange, blue, and green circling the sun shining through an overcast sky. It kind of looked like the "rainbow" in the swan picture just not as vivid. 1st Sunbow. 
I have wanted to knit with fabric for a while. I started a few days ago, with no plan for the end product. The knit fabric has a nice texture but wouldn't make for a cozy scarf. I decided to turn it into a crafting apron. knitting aside, the apron was complete in a few hours. I can't wait to craft in my new crafting apron. 1st apron.

How sad.
Have you seen this before?
Do they die like this or do they work their way out eventually? You can lie to me...it's ok.
I LOVE the apron!
It looks like some deliciously sweet dessert, like a cupcake with sprinkles! So happy!

Yes, the bird story is sad. They are going by the lake today to see if it's still there. The apron is delicious.
