Eskimo Taylors


We finally had enough snow, enough moisture, enough warmth, and enough time to make an igloo! We've wanted to make one for a couple of winters now, and we were worried we weren't going to make it this year!
As you can tell, we just barely finished as the sun was going down--but what a lovely sunset!


I don't know why this one is blurry, but this is, of course, Ursula and I in our new habitat!


Here is Barrett, wrestling with the Weasel with Chubs coming in from behind! Chubs looks like he is just about to annoy someone or perhaps drop a pile in the walkway. He is that kind of a pup--Weasel discovered he could escape from his little irritator if he slipped inside of the igloo with us while we were working. Once Ursa popped in too, it was quite the squeeze!


Needless to say, we have enjoyed winter. Equally needless, we are ready for spring. Today, it has warmed up into the 40's and is also raining on top of a foot of snow. It is also supposed to drop to 19* tonight....that will be a lovely mess. If our igloo survives, it will be an ice fortress!
