Winter…Breakup…Spring…LOTs of snow, back to Winter…
and Spring again.
You gotta love the extremes of spring in Alaska. We get to change our mind frequently. Even though we had one breakup I knew winter wasn’t over yet – it was way too early. Back up just over a week ago, this is what was happening out the window.
Big brother teaching little sister to cross country ski – while it “dumped” snow. She wanted to learn so much & he finally obliged – on his own terms, his idea. It has been a nearly every day occurrence ever since.
Totally made this mom’s heart proud!
She was giddy excited!
Days of sickness and snow. Then the amaryllis opened it was so pretty! Last week it seemed warm and I really wanted pictures of the red with all the white. So I took the amaryllis outside. (p.s. If you want to continue enjoying the amaryllis inside – I would not recommend doing this. The amaryllis did not recover…sorry, mom)
Today
We are in the midst of Springish’ type temps again. The declaration of today – “I went out, the sun hit me and IT WAS WARM!” and the kids are soaking up as many rays as they can (when you’re still pretty much covered head to toe). It is just above 40* today.
Notice one is bare toed & the other has boots on. I believe she’s making a snowman. The CD player is sitting where the amaryllis was last week. Not sure why the CD player is sitting on a folded blanket, to keep it warm?
