Alaskan's Life

[Mini Horses]

Make me feel very city-esque...

you need something to be doing/tending....

At least keep the pics coming -- then we know you're still alive . Soon there will be moose and birds to photo. Maybe you will grow a garden, or a couple potted plants this spring. 😁

My rosemary and lavender has survived all the odds.

I'm the serial killer of all plants so I am very impressed with myself so much so I've potted a climbing rose today. 🌹

Picture from today... no, maybe yesterday.

The church I go to... I wanted to show how high the berms along the path have gotten. And, that path is NOT directly on the ground. Over the winter the snow on the path builds up. Maybe 6 inches ... up to a foot of snow pack on the walkway...

Here is a picture of the kunekunes when we first got them, just weened.

As a feeder pig... I think they would make sense if you had... grass......

But, with 4 plus feet of snow at present, they are a stupid feeder pig... eat lots and grow slow.

They are sweet... I can see them making a good pet...

I hope so, ya'll are in need of another form of transportation. And I don't think the eldest is hooking up the dog sleigh.lol

Very much nope... we only have 1 dog.

The only nice? thing about all that snow still there, besides that it is normal for you I guess, is that the sun is out and it looks NICE out???? not dreary and drab.... The sun at least looks pleasant if you know what I mean. And you do know that it will be coming to an end. We are warmer than normal right now, and we will get some colder weather and maybe even another couple frosts here... but the sun is "cheery" so it helps to not be a negative even if we get the frost.

Well... snowed last night and again today.


Ah! April!

We are supposed to hit 40 on Monday.

Pictures on and from my driveway as I drove home today.

Things have been slowly melting, I can see some small spots of dirt in the parking lot!

And, photos from kid 2 from his trip to the dump.

I'm very fortunate to live in a Sandhill Crane area.

I LOVE them... but there is so much snow still that they are down in the marshes, not up by my house.

So, I haven't seen or heard them, people at lower elevations have said they are here.

I HAVE, for almost a week now, heard the varied thrush!!!




It is always the first one back at my house, and comes when there is still bunches of snow. It shows up as soon as there has been just a tiny bit of melt at the tree and bush bases.
