April Update

The view out of our front window.  The weather has been incredibly warm lately and the snow is melting like crazy!  The ground is muddy and the tundra is starting to come through again.

 A couple of days later, the tundra was more obvious.  We went for a walk and checked out more of the area.  It started out nicely, but then the wind picked up and it got crazily cold!  My ears started hurting as bad as that time when I think I almost got frostbite!  By that time, we were walking really fast to get back home.

 Huge puddles (or lakes) started to form everywhere!  There's a big one by our house now that we're thinking of getting some of that mosquito killer stuff and throwing in in before they hatch.  That might help cut down on the mosquitos around our house all summer.


 There used to be a road here! LOL, this is where the ice road was that made the road system into a loop for the wintertime.
 The road stretched across the lake here just to the right of that gray building on the top right side of the road sign.
