We still have tons of snow but the days are stretching and stretching - now at 12 hours of day light and the sun has HEAT! We feel confident that we have made it through another really long, brutally cold winter!
So here are the updates......
RACES: Mira and Kate have been busy racing with their cross-country skiing. Both girls are really having a blast on skis. Mira has placed a couple of times this year and is pleased with her results. Kate is a dare devil and we are glad that she has to climb the hills before she can head down them - helps to keep the hills in check. Kate is now done her Jack Rabbit program and Mira has another month or so of her squad.
Looking chilly, Mira!
Kate looking relaxed at the start!
Cabane à sucre - Rendez-vous in Whitehorse - it was too cold for the real cabana à sucre (maple syrup poured on the snow to make maple syrup taffy)- volunteers had fled to warmer venues and we had to settle for the snow sculptures.
RENOS: Well the renos continue - like a domino effect, every turn opens up a new project. We are now comfortably living, all four of us, in just under 700 sq feet, while the basement gets pulled apart. Interesting wiring and other creative changed done in the past, has prompted us (read Paul) to redo the wiring and the heating! We have made some interesting discoveries as well..... it is a wonder that the walls are as straight as they are! Check it out:
These were all found in one corner of the building! I think the construction folks may have had an issue.
RECUPERATING: I am happy to have February behind me! I am proud to say I am now feeling 100% better... looking forward to starting back at running in the next week or so. Whoo hoo!
RELAXIN'
When Paul's trip to Vancouver got bumped earlier in the month, we decided to all head to Vangroovy in the quest for Spring. We were expecting hurricane-gale force winds with torrential rains but the weather gods blessed us with showers, sun and Springtime flowers!
