As is typical, the month of July has been near non-stop hustle and bustle!
With a bit of rain nearly every day this month, we are on track for a bumper crop of mosquitoes!
With more daylight than we know what to do with, this month has had us busy, busy, busy...
Here in Alaska, season change seems to happen in the blink of an eye!
With daylight stretching past bedtime, the snow is melting double time!
Our firewood supply is getting skinny, so warm temperatures must be just around the corner!
Above average temperatures in January have had us feeling like summer should be coming any day now.
December has made a show-stopping arrival here on the homestead.
Things are chugging right along as winter grinds into gear.
What a rainy month! With over 6 inches of rain in the past few weeks, we have certainly made up for the hot and dry weather we had during the first half of the summer.
What. A. Month. It really feels like we crammed our entire summer into this one month. We have accomplished so much on the homestead with a little help from our friends and family—even Mother Nature did her part! Where to begin describing this shotgun of a month?
Things are heating up on the homestead! Literally… it’s been getting really hot.
![]() April has arrived—and gone—which is a month that gets us feeling like we are at the starting line waiting for the gun to fire (in our case, Mother Nature to signal) so we can take off and get to work on all of the projects we have laid out over the winter months. Spring is in the air! Though only reaching daytime high temperatures in the mid 40°s, with the sun climbing higher and higher in the sky and the remaining snow blanket reflecting and intensifying it, we’ve actually had a couple days of T-shirt weather. It’s obviously a good time for getting the first sunburn of the year as well.
This year on February 2nd, Groundhog's Day, Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow, indicating 6 more weeks of winter. However, with only a 60% track record, we don't put too much weight behind that little critter.
With the winter solstice behind us, bright days are on the horizon!
Though only the end of November, it feels as if we've been through nearly an entire winter already.
Winter came early this year, but we were just sitting around waiting for it anyways.
