LATER…..
I knew I left something out of last week’s email… a weather crew came out to film the loggers doing their logging thing. They followed the guys in the woods for one day and then here for two days. They had to wear mikes and have cameras in their faces. We met the film crew (two guys and a local from here sound guy); they were super nice. If I ever figure out where our 11 minute segment is airing, I’ll let you know.
Katrina Miller from Whitestone, daughter of Jay and Amy Miller (granddaughter of the late Dick and Jane Miller and of Jon and Carol Dufendach) won the Interior State spelling bee and will go to state at the end of June. Here is a link for an article on her. It is so “Katrina” sounding. From a very young age, Katrina has spoken in big words about life’s happenings. http://www.newsminer.com/news/local_news/article_af5ce216-83de-11e2-98c6-001a4bcf6878.html
Gosh, I’m always apologizing first thing. In my last email I said that the night temperatures had only been getting to zero degress. After perusing my little weather book, I realized that was a very incorrect assumption. The night temperature had been steadily getting as low as -15° regularly. Yesterday, was very windy with the high at 29°; this morning it is still 15°, and windblown piles are everywhere.
The beef and dairy cows have started having babies. It is the time of night checks and birthing s. Last night Chris Toby called for Rich because one of Rich’s moms’s birthed her calf in the gutter. Rich and Chris took care of that.
Yesterday, Liz and I went to town to collect Zayden who will be staying with me for a few days and then with Jeni for a few days while his parents are on vacation.
A bunch of folks have gone to Kansas. to be with the Chartier family as Bethany Chartier (who graduated with Ani) is getting married to a family friend from the town.
Sis Audrey from Sapa farm passed away last week. A Master Teacher whom we will all miss. The original WRTR instructor and one of my mentors.
A memorial will be held for her this Saturday at noon at the Sapa farm. Garth, Kim and a van load were supposed to be at the memorial at Sapa but were turned back by snow and stormy weather at Blackrapids. Ani had made a ton of cookies for the occasion and they ended up on our Sunday service snack bar! At least they did not go to waste… :(
The Loggers, Thomas, Craig, Kevin and Brad have left for Wasilla to begin a job for the railroad – Tom says they will be working 7-12’s for four weeks.
Wendy and Rus have started planting seeds for the greenhouse plants. I heard the greenhouse is being opened up soon.
May is thinking "garden" and planning for what needs to be done.
Fresh snow has made Pat's trail manageable again, so we're gonna use it again for a bit before it gets bad again.
May and I went out on a 2 hr. trek looking for new trails in the snow and almost ended up Horn Mt. ! it was a lovely sunny, bright and crisp afternoon, May was trying out her new snowshoes from DepotPleinAir in Canada....
Here are some photos
We had a costume party recently, all the young folks participated in making their own original costumes. Here are some photos of the occasion.
