So we still have snow on the ground and at the moment it is still coming down from the sky. Just when we think Spring is going to turn into summer, we get fooled. As my neighbor Karin said "April Fooled us again!" She is so right! We were looking at picture of our first April here in Galena, when Kaden was a cute little toddler, barely able to march through the snow. That April was already melted and the river was very close to breaking. This year not so much, the way it is going, it feels like it will never thaw and break, leaving us in this frozen land forever. Kind of feel like I am in "The Lion The Witch and The Wardrobe" where the land stays winter. But even with the extended grip that winter has, it doesn't mean we are stuck inside our houses watching out the window for the snow to melt, though I do find myself doing just that at times. We have been thoroughly enjoying outside time and not having to worry that our eyelids are going to freeze shut. It is nice to just go out in a pair of jeans and a light jacket and play in the snow instead of having to put on the whole winter gear. Here are some fun things happening around Galena to enjoy the spring.
Kaden practicing his Archery
Learning some woodwork. Kaden really enjoyed it!

Will longer light hours and longer winter people can gather more wood.
