Sorry, it’s been awhile since I have updated the blog, just been busy with life. Here are some slideshows to catch you up on what’s been happening here. It’s close to Christmas and we have mailed off our packages and are settling in for the winter.
It’s been nice here for the most part so far. We had a week of single digit temperatures, it even got to 1 degree, but it REALLY wasn’t that bad, REALLY! We had a week of slushy wet weather and that was a pain to deal with! The snow would melt on the roads, because it warmed up in the high 20’s and low 30’s during the day then freeze again at night. This made for slick roads and driveways – not good! Lately, we have had good dry weather. We are starting to get more snow this week, but no rain, thank goodness!
The sunrises and sunsets are incredible here – you’ll see in one of the slideshows, but pictures do not do them justice!! It is getting close to winter solstice and thus the shortest day of the year on December 21st. After that, the days will start to get longer. We are now having a sunrise around 10AM and a sunset around 4PM. We have twilight for about 45 minutes to an hour before sunrise as well as sunset. That’s when we have those beautiful skies!
Living in Alaska is definitely different, but it seems to suit us both! We are enjoying the weather, the people, the scenery and being together! What more could you ask for!!
Happy Trails!

How to's for the blog
For those of you that might be new to the blog here are instructions on how this blog works. For those who've been here before, I should have added this post earlier -- sorry. Better late than never! Anyway, the way we do this blog is to add a text version of the info we want to share and then name the slideshow the same name, therefore; you will see many times two of the same thing listed, but one is pictures and one is text. Hope this has not been too confusion for those who have looked before. Also I have found that the slideshows will sometimes load the pictures slowly, probably based on how fast your internet speed is, so please be patient. Hopefully it won't be too bad for you. Enjoy!
