More snow, but we finished making the raised beds. They are unframed, with burlap around the edges to help with erosion control. Another year, we will build framed beds around them. We are looking at these, using some old logs at the bottom, a'la hügelkultur to save on soil and water.

I did not realize that single paned windows still existed!!

When we first moved up here the cabin we lived in had some single paned windows... and WOW, it felt like there was a hole in the wall!!! Brrrrrrrr
Not only were all of the windows single pane, one of them is broken and the glass is being held in with strapping tape, lol. And when we put in our wood stove, we discovered that the attic space was "insulated" with old mattresses and sofa cushions and such. It's so much fun living in a 100 year old house....

Beautiful! Whereabouts in Alaska are you? Visiting Alaska is on my bucket list. I could even handle the snow, but I could not handle the lack of daylight in the winter.
Kenai Peninsula

I am on the coast, so warmer than most of Alaska...

except Kodiak and SE, it is way warm over in those places in the winter, but their summers are even cooler than here.

I just saw a long range forecast that said we may have a big storm early next week. We are not ready for snow yet! Hoping that changes over the next few days! It’s been around 40 during the day, tomorrow’s forecast says it’ll be near 60… crazy weather!
