It was a great weekend for being outdoors during the winter season. Temperatures were in the upper twenties on Saturday with plenty of sun. The days are definitely getting longer. After having gotten some snow earlier this week, the trails were great for cross country skiing. Coming down a small slope we looked to our left and saw a cow moose about 20 yards off the trail bedded down. I think she was counting the skiers as they went by. Saturday was also National Yoga Day, so we both participated in three free half hour yoga classes at the yoga studio in Kenai. It was nice to do yoga again at a studio and not just as personal practice. On Saturday evening we had a mama and baby moose stop in for a visit at our house. They were busy browsing for food.
Sunday also turned out to be a pretty nice day, although not as nice as Saturday. Temperatures were in the high teens, but there was a lot of wind making it feel pretty chilly. The mama and baby moose stopped back this morning and hung out around the house all day. I think they felt well sheltered. For part of the afternoon they were bedded down. We managed to get out to a trail we hadn't visited since last winter, Egumen Trail. We were hoping to see some snowshoe hare, but with the wind blowing as hard as it was, we're pretty sure they were nestled down somewhere. Hopefully we will see some more weekends like this one. Jon's pee wee team played in Kenai this weekend, winning one and losing one.
