ahhhh, spring break. . .

Well it started off well. Andrea (my friend who taught out here last year) came to visit me for the end of her spring break, and the beginning of mine. She arrived on Wednesday, and Thursday after school we rode out to the Old Woman cabin for a night (the cabin is in the trees at the base of the hill in the picture--->).
Hoping to meet up with some mushers at the cabin, we ended up passing 5 on the trail, and meeting up with the red lantern right as he was leaving the cabin.

It was beautiful spring weather- we did a little skiing, and hiked to the top of Old Woman.


We also decided to try our hand at some ice fishing on the way home- with axe in hand, and fishing line ready, we hacked our way through nearly 2.5 feet of ice!! And then, we still didn't hit water!! So for all of our effort, we had little to show. . . next time!!

After she left on Saturday I spent the time crafting, skiing with the dogs and doing some spring cleaning in and around the house.

It always seems to go by so fast. Though I'm ready to get the last quarter started (and finished) there is a lot to be done and I've yet to find the motivation to get the ball rolling. . . I'm sure it will hit me soon :)

I hope you are all enjoying your own spring- whatever that may bring. . .
