One Alaskans greenhouse

[flowerbug]

...I keep asking Ruthy if she’d like to go on a plow date with me, she’s not as enthusiastic about all that as i am.

perhaps warming up the cab first and shovelling the path and scattering some rose petals might help? just don't tell her it is candle lit dinner and use a lighter and can of sardines... good luck...

Well, we got another ft of snow last night and now today it’s turned off brilliant, making the “dig out” quite nice! Once i got the truck dug out. The pano is from the top of the garden.

This morning; before all the plowing i had an epiphany, resulting in this “horseshoe head” that screws onto my canoe pole giving me a 13 ft. Reach when trying to relieve some of the tree’s of they’re load!

I also dug out this last kale plant, cut it off and brought it up to the house. At 1 big leaf a day; there’s another month’s worth of lunches before i have to start eating the frozen stuff. *On edit- i guess it’s All frozen, just some of it’s not still outside! It amazes us how long Kale keeps like this.

i forgot to mention above this important part of planning a date - do not eat beans a few hours before...

nice use of a horseshoe.

I remember a small yellow datsun truck Dad owned getting dug out one spring at the airport in Bethel. There was really high drift on it. I saw Anchorage had a snow emergency and thought to myself how is @Alasgun making do?

A high point for my day; and a “not so high point”

Not too many folks getting cucumbers in Alaska right now!

10,000 in the immediate area without power due to the 70 mph winds thru the day. We have been on generator since 1:00 this afternoon. With the cold and wind I gave the birds a new bone which made they’re day!

We had a couple cow/calf pairs in the yard today, i found this one when i came around the corner of the garage! Here’s what they look like UP CLOSE.

When they got together in the back yard a little sparing took place between the two Mom’s.

Initial looks can be decieving; these animals are 6 1/2 ft tall at the shoulder. Like @baymule walking up to one of her horses.
