Is It Spring Yet???






Greetings! Just when we thought spring had finally reached us here in the great white north we got 16 inches of snow in one day! Most of us Alaskan’s already have our studded tires off. They have to be off by May 1st so needless to say it was quite an adventure driving around in that much snow. We had to take a snow day at work and leave early. We seem to be back up to the low 50’s now. We’re hoping it will last and that we’ll finally see spring. Our little girl dog just about got lost in the snow in the back yard. You can see it was up to my knees. Our other dog Simon did not have as much fun in the snow. He must have stepped into a whole or something and he fractured his leg. It was quite frightening for us. He’s in a cast now for 4-6 weeks. We have a two story house so I think he’s really enjoying being carried up and down the stairs. Jerry and I are getting ready for our one night stay in Denali in a couple of weeks. Hopefully, Simon will be healed enough by then that we can still go. We’ve been looking forward to the trip for a while now. I just finished another class towards my Masters. I have a week off before I begin the next class. Only 7 more classes to go. Jerry is just finishing up his hockey class and then he has two classes this summer in History and Math. He’s hoping to finish his AA and start on his BA by the end of the year.
