ICE SKATING
ON THE VILLAGE GREEN--
Soft blue smoke from the crackling, foot-warming fire floats on the still air across Main Street while children shriek their happy protests each time gravity gives them a crashing lesson in this ageless winter sport.
Parents scurry around the temporary ice rink snapping pictures with their digital cameras and, for awhile at least, all is right with the world.

For a few months each winter the village constructs a temporary rink of a wooden frame and a liner on the lawn of the town hall and even non-skaters have just one more visual delight in this Norman Rockwellesque village we are privileged to call home.
