Pictures from the past week or so...

Most of these pictures were taken this week on the first EXTREMELY sunny day. It was so gorgeous that instead of staying inside catching up on my work, I donned the snowpants and goggles and went for a two hour ride with (L to R) Marie, April and Krystal. We had no destination or plan, but just drove, took pictures, and chatted.

The following day I was driving by my principal's house and he was outside working so I stopped to chat with him for a few minutes. One of the things we discussed was the fact that up here one of the nicest things is the sense of freedom you get when you go out of town by skidoo. NOTHING like skidooing down south where there are a thousand and one laws and licenses you need to do it...

I have certainly been spending my fair share of time outdoors!!! Another day, afterschool (now that the sun is still up when we leave after work, unlike before the clocks changed) we (Krystal, Nancy, April and I) went for a short ride to meet up with Mark and the dog team. I tried to get some good shots since Mark can never take shots of himself, while he is mushing!
