The Sun Is Back

It's spring, and time to pick willows for basket making. Dustin and I picked a huge bundle on saturday, mama moose found them on monday! We moved the remaining willow inside and closed all the curtains.. she was eyeing them through the windows trying to get in!

Had a wonderful few days up in Fairbanks with Nikki and Ed.
Here's Mel and Nikki at the ice sculptures

It was great to see Mel, Scott and Matthew. Look at those blue eyes!
Seems like we have this photo every year. Nikki and I met on Tern Island in 1995. We had a wonderful few days of hiking, skiing, hotsprings, and catching up.

Nikki and Ailish in the Chena rec area. Wonderful views, big country.
Interior sun!

Melonie and Mango during a sunny middle fork loop ski
We bottled the Beetroot wine. Jury is out.
Lee has a kitten! Archibald. Moggy and Archibald spent a fair bit of time together during the first month. We need them to get on together so we can carry on cat-swapping. Moggy spent the first few weeks resisting efforts of friendship, but they finally reached a truce...
Archie in a rare moment of sleep. He's growing up fast, but went through a hyper-active monster stage.. getting into everything!
Archie helps write a paper on guillemots
