Still waiting for 🌧️ instead of snow. Spring couldn't come fast enough. No robins yet either. I am willing to bet they went back to the South till this nonsense finally 🛑.

Lamb is a tradition in my Family and Lamb Stew is a warm an comforting food after a dusting of snow. Yes, we got a dusting. Video to follow. Hope you all have a wonderful Easter and don't forget the true meaning. Peace, Love, Booya

I was hoping for more snow melt, but we get this. Oh well. God knows best.

My first moose sighting of the 2023-2024 Winter and of 2024 proper. This moose came to visit yesterday morning around 7 AM, but I am just getting around to uploading it now. I am so psyched!

Well we got snow ❄️ earlier than expected. How long and how much is the question.

We've had unseasonably WARM weather. Snow melt, clear walkways are great, but what next? The next few days will be cooler, but no more snow yet. Thank you, El Nino!

I had forgotten that I made this VERY SHORT video on October 11, just over a month ago when we were still pretty much in Fall but got an "Early Warning." This was it.

Sorry I didn't post any Summer videos this year. It was pretty boring and all you would see is trees, no moose or anything interesting to post anyway, so I am beginning with this Winter video and will probably post more when cool stuff comes up. This one is on the heels of a 15 hour outage. More snow to come this week. Hope the power holds.

I stepped out around 2 AM for some fresh air and was, more or less, confronted with this scene. The video is a tiny bit blurry in places and I had a kitty crisis part way through, but this "two for" in more ways than one, needed to be captured.

Well our girl came for a nosh today in mid afternoon. I was able to get a pretty long video of her (and she IS a she). She seemed pretty unaffected by me videotaping her lunch. My kitty briefly thought about giving her a pounce then thought not. Smart boy! Hope everyone has a very happy and blessed Easter. BTW: If you can think of a really good name for our girl, leave a message in the comments. Something beginning with "M" would be awesome!

It is April 6, 2023 and we are STILL stuck in Winter. Don't know about y'all, but I am ready for tee-shirt weather.

Strange tracks appeared on the walkway the other day, can you figure out what they're from?

Well. I thought he moose had left but she/he (still not sure what this moose's "pronouns" are...LOL) was still perusing the available "snacks" and continued down the line munching, so I had to make another short here. Luca thought he was going to pounce this majestic beast, but thought better of it, THANK GOD and came back to the porch. Enjoy this parting clip!

Our moose neighbor is back for another "long nosh." A Facebook poster, also in the "Last Frontier" posted a couple of young men who, while out for a walk on a trail, were approached by a moose. The encounter appeared to be benign, but a few of the commenters called them "stupid" among other things, while others like myself noticed that the moose appeared un-threatened and was just curious about the two men. Moose have been coming out out of the woods to "prune" bushes and nibble small twigs on deciduous trees because there seems to me little food in the woods, I wonder why. My moose neighbor seems to be no different. I usually only see moose once per winter and only on a very cold night. This gal has been here twice and during the warmth of day. Aside: Had to take this from my bedroom because I couldn't get my camera and get outside fast enough to catch this.

I went to let the boy out and briefly glanced over to my neighbor's property> I won't spoil it for you but a very welcome guest was "chillin" behind one of the sheds...

......Sorry, had to add this one. Luca was being an adorable, drooling mess and a "butt "to his Mom too. Don't always get a good video of him, but when I can, I do. I think I may have to wring out the penguin.....

Landscape change, Bronchial terror attack...So this was Christmas. I am so in winter mode thanks to this recent illness I will have to start over again. THANK the GOOD LORD 2022 is almost a memory. It has been the year from HELL...Even years seem to do that to me....I should have been a bear....

We have had a lot of drifting here, not unlike an arid Desert....more snow to come, but how much????

Even the kitteh, didn't want to go out in THIS!

Luca and I were lazily watching our morning programs when, at approximately 6:30 AM, right out of the blue....not going to spoil it for you entirely...so...Hint: a BIG surprise strolled on by....our living-room and bedroom windows....if I had been able to rise and record this "visit" fast enough, the resulting video MIGHT have made it on the KTUU-Anchorage evening news.

I decided to chronicle my winter here in 2022. It has been a brutal one so far and it is only mid-December. I really need a shovel and soon. Mail retrieval and meaningful outside mobility, for me is questionable at best, but I carry on.

...a continuation of the last one...You all know the answer to the question now . ;)

Prints come up...but don't go back out...Where did it go???

Luca (the orange tabby on the right, my kitty) and Mitts )the barely visible gray tabby on the left, hiding in the bushes) are rivals. Luca MAY or MAY NOT be trying to make amends, but Mitts MAY or MAY not be having it...We may never know because...well watch...no spoilers here...

Trying to keep an update on my Mourning Cloak...No Movement...Is he DEAD??? I sincerely hope not!!!
