Watching ice melt

2023
Ice

Proposal
Facing warnings of approaching hurricanes, we fill our 8-quart soup pot almost to the brim and place it into the freezer.  If the electricity fails, we have given the freezer a few extra hours of life.  When the storm threat passes, we retrieve our precious pot of ice, turning it upside down and freeing the ice onto the deck behind the kitchen, then watch it melt.  It is wondrous to see how the sun illuminates the crystalline structure while the water slowly puddles then disappears. At that moment we pause and think about our earth’s melting glaciers and other more threatening events on the horizon.
