See Diane Run

So, I've been trying to get this video up for weeks now,and it's finally, hopefully, working. Just a fun reminder of the effort Diane put forth for her marathon. The first part is her ice bath after a 16 mile run. Keeps those legs from gettin too sore! Then pictures from the Anacortes Art Dash 1/2 marathon, then the Top of Utah marathon in September. What a lot of work!

Seen any leprechauns lurking around?

Happy St. Patty's Day. Hope you're all wearin' green!

Early Utah Art Museum

When you want to make an impression that lasts through

the ages, carve it into stone. Like this. It's a pretty happy

looking face. Actually it looks alot like the sun stones on the

Nauvoo temple. Hmmm.

Keith went to visit the girls. Since the plan to visit some

hot spring was foiled by a big road closed sign, they figured

the next best thing would be climbing around on some

cool rocks. Katie and Josh look pretty comfy.

This place is up the canyon from Provo. Diane and Dennis

sure found a beautiful spot.

The two mountains present a wonderful contrast.

That was fun, now let's go eat!

Crocuses in the Snow

Is it possible that this could be the very last

snowfall of the winter? We can only hope so!

Baked Alaska

For some reason, Devin got this crazy notion to make

Baked Alaska. He even donated his own marshmallows

specifically purchased to use as ammuntion with his

marshmallow guns made of pvc piping. It's been a long time

since we've made them, but even Eric remembered

having them, he was like 2!

These were apparently delicious, and I'm sure part of

the reason was that they were made with homemade

waffles rather than eggo waffles. I think the idea

of Baked Alaska only encouraged the weather to

start behaving like Alaska. Now we have had nonstop snow!

Nature's Wonders

Isn't it wonderful to see these brilliant colors peeping

up out of the dull brown soil?

Two years ago Keith expressed the desire to see crocuses
welcoming the beginning of Spring. So we shopped, and
dug and planted and, voilah! Cheerful little buds greeting
visitors to the front door. If you look really hard you can
the bumblebee.

While hiking yesterday, Devin took pictures of this oddity.
It's amazing that these trees will work so hard to survive.

Towering trees on Chuckanut Mountain.
What a glorious sight.

Trees are not only beautiful, they also convey

a sense of majesty.
