Shrooomssssssssssss!!

Yeah, it is too early to start seeds, too early to start rooting plant cuttings, and too cold and too snowy to poke around outside. Looking through the garden catalogs helps the cabin fever a bit, but it isn't the same.

We do have a few things growing though! Take a look! YUMMMMMM!!!!!

Winter Drags On...and On...and On....

You know the winter is getting bad when even the snowmen want to check out!

“It's snowing still," said Eeyore gloomily."

"So it is."

"And freezing."

"Is it?"

"Yes," said Eeyore. "However," he said, brightening up a little, "we haven't had an earthquake lately.”

(Keep it all in perspective!)

Ski Bums

For the first time in about 10 years, our Sunday afternoons aren't monopolized by ski race lessons or traveling to a race somewhere. Emily has officially retired! It has been a fun run though. She has been on Trollhaugen's D-Team for years and years and had lots of adventures.

Emily qualified for the NASTAR Nationals and we went to Park City for the races. We got to meet some famous ski racers...very cool!!

Soooo....Emily is "retired" from racing...but she came out of retirement for a few NASTAR runs at Trollhaugen on Sunday. Check out the video below! The kid still has the moves!
