aksheephuntress Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 ........THOUGHT I WOULD SNAP THE LAST FEW PICS ON A DISPOSABLE BEFORE HEADING UP TO ANCHORAGE, ON MY BIRTHDAY THE OTHER DAY....:rolleyes: ....YOU CAN GET A FEEL, MAYBE, FOR HOW FAR WE ARE FROM SUMMER..... -SCANNED, UPLOADED JUST NOW, AND WANTED TO SHARE.... ...there is a neat snowmachine track that goes up and around the house....a view out the back door...the our traps hanging back up for next season...and little (-not so little, anymore?)-Ruthie -2 yrs old helping Mom sweep....and a view of the icicles hanging down... -The gutters are all shot to heck...but at least the commercial-grade trusses are doing their job! ...Oh... I don't believe in little neat shoveled paths up to each back and side door....better to deter any people"sneaking around"...-the same goes for manicured lawns, or pruning....when the snow gives way,-the "rainforest jungle" takes it's place.... ...-Melting fast,....but more snow in the forecast this week....:rolleyes: -The tonnage in sheets of ice are ready to give way any moment, now...and the kid's are instructed to keep way clear of the house, when outside....... -....You like my "PETA" bumper sticker??(People For the Eating of Tasty Animals...) ...and, yes...there is another truck buried on the side of the house, from the view of the drive... -one of the snow machines on the trailer is buried... ...Took the picture on the way up to Anchorage Sunday -in front of an avalanche dig-out on the Seward Hwy....(mile 22)...-nice route up above , up that mtn-to access sheep in August... ...Well- it's Home...I love the high country...but it all makes it worthwhile to come back to the Homebase....and Home is where the heart MAKES it....

buckee Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 That sure looks cold Kathleen. BRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr I'm sure glad you had a safe drive to anchorage the other day. Ruth is a doll and a good Mommy's little helper too, by the looks of it. I'll bet you'll be real glad when that snow is gone.. Looks like a great place to hibernate though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohiobucks Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 ...Those icicles look dangerous. Those icicles have been known to kill people! (vague Christmas Story movie reference.....)

Shaun_300 Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 Awesome pics Kathleen! You guys will have snow on the ground for a while yet! There was still quite a bit in the bush when I was 4wheeling on the weekend, close to 2 feet in places where the sun doesn't hit very well. Most of it in the yard is gone now though. Supposed to be in the 70s by the end of the week! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhunt Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 Nice pics Kathleen. You have more snow there than what we have probably gotten in the last 6 or 7 years combined. Have mowed our lawn here twice already this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(probably for more reasons than just the snow load...) ....this snow load reminds me of that 'blizzard of '77" in Cleveland, OH,though... -We have that B&B cabin off to the front, and to the side of the drive...can barely see it in that one pic...and , as SteveB said...Seward is gorgeous in July... -Yeah, the house is a little on the small side,(I know you were kidding, though, Texastrophies- no worries-)-esp. with 5 kids...(2 -bedroom..)-the "house " part is 1500 sq feet...the vaulted ceiling in the main room makes it feel larger, and works well with the mounts..and the finished garage (the "living, re-loading and dining area ")is 1200 sq '...the woodstove in the garage really helps with the fuel oil bill...and- any smoke from it in the garage doesn't affect the sheep mounts in the main house area... -there is a full-length crawl space that is a real help, for storage... -otherwise....endless playground outside for the kids...
