Mom and Dad stopped in and stayed with us for the weekend during their big trip through the mid-west. We went mushroom hunting and fishing on Saturday. The woods were full of flowers, but lacked many morels. We found four. The crappie were biting and my daughter caught the biggest one I have ever seen. It was 13.5" and about 1.5 lbs.

Doug and I went to Madeline Bertrand park to do some night skiing. This was my first experience on cross country skis. It was bitter cold (around 7° F), but I exerted so much energy trying to stay up on the first round that only my fingers became numb. As you can see in the photo, my brow was soaked. I think there is ice in my hair from frozen perspiration.
We warmed up with some hot chocolate at the Bertrand lodge and then went out for another tour. The trail had an occasional electric and gas lights on short poles, but had I not strapped my bike light to my ski pole, I would have stuggled with feeling disoriented. There was no moonlight to help us see in the dark areas between the lights.

This winter the icm featured blown glass from artist Dale Chihuly. Go to indy children's museum to learn more.
We had supper club over tonight. I was fortunate enough to cut up some oranges and grapefruit. When I was done I saw a photo op for computer wallpaper.
This is what greeted me this morning as I walked to work. Then I saw the rainbow as I started for home at the end of the day.
