We’ve been having some warm weather, in the 35 to 40 degree Fahrenheit range. It has done a lot toward melting off a good percent of the snow out there.

Okay, so maybe it is a little early to be thinking about spring cleaning, but I have decided that if I don’t do something along that drastic of a lines I am going to go completely insane. This -40 degrees Fahrenheit weather that we have been having here is starting to get to me. I can’t even go out to shovel the walkway because it is too dang cold. I stepped out at -60 once years back and ever since I have horrible coughing fits when the temperature gets under freezing, the further it drops the worse time I have tying to breathe. Maybe I should move to Arizona? Nahhhh… I could never take the scorpions!
I used to live in Alaska because there was no such thing as thunderstorms. HA! That’s a thing of the past. We’ve had some doozies in recent years. Before we know it there will be snakes in Alaska, then them little crawlies like scorpions and ticks will move in, and fleas, and…. :::shudders::: Yeah, before ya know it Alaska will have Africanized honey bees. :::shaking head:::
I think I’ll forget spring cleaning and start packing to move further north.

It has been snowing again, we got a rather nice coating of the yucky white fluff out there.
I went out to my brother’s garage the other day. Forgot a cardinal rule of snow. Never underestimate it. Came out the side door, closed the door and I just automatically glanced up at the light for some stupid reason to see if it was on. Full shovel’s worth of fluffy snow right in the face and down the back of not just my jacket, but my shirt too. Really annoyed me, and I still had to stay out for a few and feed the dogs. Teach me to underestimate that treacherous stuff.
We also have moose, thanks to the snow. I looked out my office window the other evening, just about dark out, and there was a moose at my office window. Top of his shoulders was visible in the window, so he had to be a good 6′ to the shoulders because I can’t see in that window from outside. Couldn’t get picture and wasn’t about to use flash even if it would have worked through the glass. Ah well, he’s here to stay. My sister left a few hours later and said he was sleeping just off the road at the end of the driveway.

I have been having trouble with my websites lately, and unfortunately Alaska Home & Garden is no exception. I think it has been straightened out now, though, so I am back to working on the site.
There has been a warm spell here for a few days. Started out with a sprinkling rain and the temperature has been staying up around 32 or so degrees for a few days.
