Snow

Well, it's September 21st, and it's snowing. When I checked the weather last night and it called for snow, I really didn't believe it....but here it is. It's not sticking yet, but it's suppose to snow all week. This really wouldn't be a problem except that Val and I took our kids out berry picking today. We were out there for about 20 minutes when the weather turned cold and big white fluffy flakes started to fall. Still, this wasn't a problem. But 5 minutes later it turned to snow/hail, and we were being pelted in the face by little balls of ice. Although it wasn't ideal weather, we still had a ball. I thought I was a sucker when I paid $25 for a gallon of berries a few weeks ago. Now that i've tried berry picking myself, I realize that it's a good deal. Berry picking is hard, and time consuming, and you get all wet sinking into the tundra. I was searching for cranberries which grow way down in the spongy moss. I was really having to dig a little. We were out there for probably half an hour, and I maybe have a cup of berries. I suck. Here are some pictures of our field trip.

Thanks to Lynn and Karl for sending us some more movies and candy. We're hurting without tv. We've got the dish up, but can't get a signal. So now we're watching our movies over, and over, and over.
