Snow! Snow! Snow! (February 6-7, 2010)





This past week we had parent/teacher conferences at school. We are already halfway through 3rd quarter, hard to believe. Each day the sun stays out a little longer and each day brings us closer to summer!

Well, this weekend brought us some much needed snow. After about 2 ½ months of little to no snow, this weekend brought us about 4 or 5 inches! The consistency right now is not very good for cross country skiing, much too sticky, but on Sunday we were able to enjoy a hike on our snowshoes. We revisited Egumen Lake Trail, where earlier this winter we spotted a number of snowshoe hares. On this journey we spotted two, one of which we got a picture of from a distance. With the fresh snow we have also seen a lot more active moose than normal. We spotted many this weekend near the roads snacking on various shrubs. There were a number of cow moose still with their calves; it’s nice to see that so many young ones have made it.

In 33 days we will see Mark and Kelly!
