Spring Break...........NOT!!!!

We had some very nice and mild days in February and rumors of an early "break up" a term used by Alaskans referring to the melting snow and the arrival of spring. A week ago we only had about 4 inches of snow on the ground and the potential for an early spring seemed possible, but after 3 back to back March snow storms we now have over a foot or more of the white stuff!! In addition to the snow, the cold temperatures have returned too. The past 2 mornings we have been -15 or colder and only teens for daytime high temps. Spring soccer started on Monday so I guess we know why winter came back. I told Brandon to get used to indoor conditioning cause Mother Nature didn't want them enjoying the great outdoors just yet. I can't complain too much about the snow cause it did bring moose to visit the back yard and allow me to snap a few photos. I love the backyard wildlife!! Simply amazing!!

Winter Wonderland

It has been very cold and foggy the past few days but today turned out to be beautiful and sunny. It didn't take long for my fingers and toes to notice that it was only about 7 degrees even though it was sunny it was not warm. This time of year you have to make the most of a sunny day. The sun is only up for about 5 1/2 hours, got to soak up a few rays while you can.
