Wintery still

Brought Maggie for a ski today while Ezra was finishing up a pig-butchering/ salami-making weekend with the kids at a nearby farm. Might be our last ski for the season. It actually snowed pretty hard while we were out, which made the ski out softer and easier. 

Happy dog.

March snow: 2 storms in 2 weeks, about 4 feet total

We’re enjoying winter while we’ve got it . Really nice snow conditions the last couple weeks made for some fun skiing. On Ezra’s birthday (over Presidents Day weekend), we skied to the historic Great Camp Santanoni— a 10-mile round trip. 

Today, for Maggie’s third birthday, we skied into Marcy Dam (which was destroyed by Hurricane Irene and never rebuilt — a decision by the Department of Conservation. This out and back ski was about 6 miles. We did this trip years ago with Fred before Irene when Asa was a baby. 

The Maggie-mobile helped lighten the load. 

Maggie wanted that sandwich so badly. She got lots of treats for her birthday.

Ida’s Quebec Poster

Testing out a new app for posting to this blog from my phone. Ida created a poster about Quebec for the elementary school multicultural fair. Asa made a poster about Jewish Poland.
