Winter in Alaska is long,dreadfully long, and fall is short, extremely short. Usually, fall consists of the month of September and that’s it. This year has been absolutely wonderful. We have had the longest fall we’ve had since I moved to Alaska. We are going on over a month and a half of fall already. Yay, I love it! Usually we have snow that stays on the ground around the first week of October, but since we still don’t have snow and the weather has been so nice and wonderful I had to get outside and take some pictures.
If you will leave me a comment and let me know which picture is your favorite, then on Wednesday, I will post the winning photo as my Facebook cover photo( if it is a horizontal photo) or as my profile picture (vertical photo) on my new 64* North Facebook page. Don’t forget to like my Facebook page so you can see which photo is everyone’s favorite.
My sweetie took me away to Anchorage for the weekend, and when I say away I mean like away, with no kids away. Oh, we had a great time. (sigh) It was nice to just be together and enjoy each others company.
If you haven’t heard the news by now, we bought a horse. (Yes, we are crazy, I freely admit it.) In order to make room for a barn and a corral we first had to clear the brush and the trees on our property. I told Shawn I was a bit traumatized when I came outside and saw what he had done. This whole area used to be trees, and I liked my small bit of untamed wilderness.
To get rid of the big pile of brush and dirt at the back of the property and to even out the ground, Shawn dug a huge hole with this monster and buried all the brush.
After he dug the hole for the brush we ended up with a massive dirt pile the kids had so much fun playing on.
Once the trees were in the hole, he buried it all, and then smoothed it out.
Welcome to my blog. My name's Kimberly. I moved to Alaska from Utah, when I married my wonderful husband, and I've been in Alaska for 14 years now. Little did I know, when I got here, what an eventful life it would be. Surviving the "Last Frontier" while raising and home schooling 7 kids is an everyday adventure.
