baking and making

For Christmas, one of my presents was a fudge recipe from Grandma and Grandpa. It was finally put to use on February 13th, and IT WAS GOOD!I pretty much made it all by myself. The process included some pouring, some stirring, more stirring, and more pouring.



The more exciting thing that we did this week is that we dug a fort/tunnel into the huge snow hill that Mr. Chesley snow blowed.


The funny thing is that we did it from 8:00 to 10:00 at night! It was really fun. I think it's going to turn out great.

ANIMALS+WARM WEATHER= LYNX ON THE ROAD

Today we saw a lynx on our way to visit some folks in town. It looked like a cross between a wild cat and a black city cat from a far distance. It is very rare to see lynx, so we were fortunate.

It has been very, very warm this last week. 20, 25, 30 degrees above zero! It has been more fun to play outside.

The Double Post 2

Last week we saw a moose in our yard. It walked right next to the front porch but then went near the church. Cinder wasn't outside,thankfully. Actually, it probably came into our yard because Cinder wasn't outside.


The temperature the last couple days has been pretty warm. -20, -5, and 4 degrees ABOVE zero today. However, the days before that were freezing! -40, -30, -40... Today I'm going to go outside with no jacket.
