Alaskan's Journal

[Alaskan]

Did you fall in a snow drift? Those are nice looking moose. I got to see my first live one since I left the Northwest years ago this last August when I went to the Tetons to hike the Teton Crest Trail. in fact it was interesting I saw one on the way to the trailhead and I saw one my last day on the way out in the brush. There were probably were others on the trip as well hidden is that one was in the brush I could have walked right past them I swear.View attachment 80193

wow, that picture reminds me that I miss the trees the pine trees and the mountains, but not all that snow.

Yeah, the snow is a bit much...

It is didn't last 20 months a year.... it would be nicer.

I know, that's why I moved somewhere that we get winter in spurts not most of the year. I figured I did my fair share of winners plus some growing up.

Walking to church..

Outside my door, the pond coop.

See the pond? The flatter area in middle of photo.

See the divot through the snow to the coop? That is the kids hiking through the snow to haul water and feed.
