Winter Is Coming


A Chilly Greeting From Alaska,

37 Degrees and raining. Snow Tonight. The Weather right now is good. We are psyching up for those -40 Degrees in January. We had our first freeze last week. Got some cayenne pepper off my plants this year.

Fall In Alaska ?


Yes Folks it is true. There is a Fall In Alaska. It is Just Beautiful. The Hillsides are ablaze with the Aspen and Alder. The Moose and Hunters abound. Two guys that came into the diner said They floated 120 Miles of the Yukon River and got Three Caribou and a Moose. No that is Not Poaching. People need to remember that Moose and Caribou are a Major food source in Alaska. Because of the cost of some good Like beef (2.79 for Ground on sale) People use the natural Resources to live on.

In other News

Meghan has become quite the talker as of late as well a Sydney bieng My Little Sous Chef. She loves to cook. We are now getting Ready For winter which should be here by October.

Alaska Is an Amazing Place

May God Bless You
