Skating!

 Are you sure the ice is thick enough?
 Everybody wants to get in skates for the first time this season!

 You can see what an odd assortment of pieces of wood are used on the deeper sections. At least it's working!!!
  I can watch the kids skate while making dinner...very nice!

Too early for gardening, I decided to try procreate some household plants instead.

 Ivy, African violet, and some other plant that I don't know the name of. They seem to be surviving so far (my houseplant success rate is pretty low!)
 Philip has been working on a shelf for Lego storage. It is supposed to go wall to wall, when all the pieces are done. So far it isn't helping keep the Lego off the floor, but it is usually easier to find pieces, if it is in a "fairly neat" state, like here.
 Jennifer and Evelyn are trying the "new ice". So far this winter we've had ice rain several times, or rain, so I haven't resurfaced the ice at all by hand. :)
 Super smooth! We are so happy we can skate even when our our snow has melted away!
 View from my ensuite.
 Tag is fun too!
 As long as everyone is "fair" and you don't get caught too many times.

You sure don't have much snow but that rink is great! And so nice that you haven't had to add water to smooth it etc. I hope you still get lots of pleasure from it!!

Those lego shelves are beautiful. And so practical.
