High Five Friday for Geese

High Five Friday for Geese out my office window. May we always be reminded of the wonders and wilds just out our windows.

Happy Friday !

Smoky Town

There is a wildfire on the Kenai Peninsula that started out at Funny Creek so it is named the Funny Creek fire. But this fire is no laughing matter, none of them are, truly.

The southerly winds have brought the smoke from this fire to the big town and it has filled the air with the stench of a campfire.  Which is an okay smell when you are camping but not when you are on your way to work.

I thought I left the wildfires behind in Fairbanks,  guess not.

Hope the air you are breathing is clear and crisp.

Happy Thursday!

Cabin Project ~ Railing Started

Now it is safe to be in the loft with no more worries about stepping off the edge. Next step is to install the cables horizontally between the rails.

Go team us! Well mostly our team Captain on this one.

Common Murre by the dozens. They can dive up to 640 feet deep and are the deepest diving sea bird that can still fly.

Humpback Whale

We will so be doing that again!

Thank you Kenai Fjords Tours and Captain Chris for sharing your enthusiasm with us about all the wildlife life we encountered but never harassed. 

High Five Friday for boat rides out and around the wilds of Alaska!

Teenagers in the House?

... as in you want to yell at them for something dumb they just said or did but you know you must pick your battles so instead your husband quietly hands you this note.

The ultrasonic scream works like a charm.

Give it a try sometime and laugh your frustrations away.
