=**My First Winter in Bethel!**=

I have never quite experienced a winter like the one I experienced this year. Tons of snow...lots of sunshine...winds like no other and INCREDIBLY cold temperatures!
I consider myself an Alaskan girl who has seen many parts of this great state. I have endeavored many blizzards and below zero days. BUT, this is ridiculous! January had record temperatures for being the coldest month in a gazillion years. Sure glad I got to be a part of history. February warmed up for the majority of the month with highs in the 30's. I even took a break from my boots for a few weeks! As we go into March, it is starting to dip down again into the negatives. Will this winter ever end? I am told...May it will start breaking up. Oyvay!

Here are some activities to do outside when it's not unbearably cold. I do hope to do some more adventuring on my skis once it warms up again. Hopefully, this will be before May.



If you are looking for things to do in Bethel on the warmer days, you only have to look as far as your back yard or in my case, the slough.

= Saturday Market = This month I checked out what all the hub-bub was about at the Saturday Market. What a great day and a fun event to meet our local Bethel peeps and talented artisans! I even participated in a booth selling my goods. The markets happen on an average monthly. A wonderful place to get the one-of-a-kind gift for that special person or just for yourself.
