Home to Snow

Look closely to find Brewster - his yellow camo works here in the golden sunshine

Yesterday the kids and I got back from Thanksgiving with the family in Maine.  There were no blog posts while we were on vacation because the blog would not let me log in from a remote setting.  It wanted my cell phone number to make sure it was me - and I do not own a cell phone! Needless to say, but now I have quite a back log of Thanksgiving Break blog posts to write.  So check back for more in the next few days.  Or check what Stuey wrote on his blog - google did let him log in.

But I will say that one of the highlights of the trip was returning to Alaska and having it snow the day we got home.  We returned to snow!  This made what could have been a sad home-coming a very happy return.

This afternoon after work I took the dogs up to the pass and went for my first cross country ski of the season.  And it wasn't so bad either.  There was about 4-5 inches of old, hard and frozen 'cement' covered with an inch or so of powder.  Not much of a base, but the sunshine was glorious.
