Anna
in "Snow Taliban." No, actually we thought it was
a good idea to go outside to see what a -6 night felt like.
Well, one of us did and one didn't. Guess which one didn't? |
|
Jordy
has been keeping our soda outside to keep it cold. Well,
when it's below zero you get more than cold Coke. You get
Cokecicle (not to mention you can't hold the can). |
|
 |
|
When
it warmed up a little bit (20 degrees), Anna and Jordy decided
to take Mary and Nina on a drive up Logan canyon. This is
the Logan river, about ten minutes from our apartment at a
place called Lower Dam. |
|
At
the Lower Dam again, Jordy and Anna pose in a winter wonderland. |
|
 |
|
With
the temperature dropping the further up the canyon we drove,
the snow got deeper. You can see the snow covered aspens here
with the pine trees. |
|
This
was about twenty miles up the canyon. Not too far from
this spot snow mobilers enjoy some wide open running.
For us, we enjoyed the serenity of a cold mountain day.
|
|
 |
|
|
And
another for good measure.
|
|
 |
|
Finally
we reached our destination -- the lookout over Bear Lake.
We had driven out here to check on some students we kept chained
to a tree in the wilderness. |
|
Since
we were there, we figured we'd pose a bit.
|
|
 |
|
Nina,
Anna, and Mary huddle together for warmth. |
|
By
now the hypothermia was setting in. They felt no pain.
|
|
 |
|
...and
all the search party found was a blue Corolla at the overlook
and this roll of film...
You'd
think we would've taken the 4Runner. We figured for four people
the little blue car would be more comfortable (plus we had
more gas in it). |
|
After
thawing off, Anna made a lovely roasted chicken dinner.
Nina supplied the wine, and a great time was had by all.
|
|
 |
|
"Here's
a toast to a weird picture!" |
|
"Mary?"
"Yes,
Nina?"
"Jordy
sure knows how to handle his corkscrew."
"Yes
he does."

Remember
the beginning
pictures of the postage stamp quilt that Anna was making
in the last set of pictures? Here it is nearing completion.
Anna is pin-basting the quilt layers. |
|
And
here she is quilting the border.
|
|
 |
|
|
DONE!!!!
Anna
proudly displays her first Utah quilt!
|
|
 |
|
You
can get a better idea of the quilt's size laid out on our
queen-sized bed. |
|
And
here the quilt is already in good use.
Stay
warm everyone!
