Kobuk 440 was this weekend and Nicolas Petit wrapped up a nice running season. Ellen King was third, Hugh and Olivia Neff were together and two Norwegians girls Maja and Julie finished as well....and with this I think it's time to say goodbye to this racing and winter season.

Our garden, on Saturday.. I must admit, I'm looking forward to get the grass back, on Saturday and Sunday we had temperatures in 60-70F.. you could almost see the snow melting away.. A fitting outfit for last touches on this season last snowman :D

Interesting outfit to wear to make a snowman. :D Nice creative snowperson. Is it a snowwoman?

The flower is really pretty.

We had 91F on Saturday, yesterday a "cold front" came through with winds and LOTS of rain.
Today is beautifully sunny and very windy with temps in 60s.
So nice, won't last, so am enjoying it while I can.

She had a pair of trousers with the dress inside when we started :)

The snow is old and not just wet but totally transformed, so it wasn't very easy to create big snowballs, so we cheated with a shovel :oops: But she actually wanted a pregnant snowwoman (she is very interested in babies at the moment, two aunts are expecting..).

90F in April? Too much..
