Ive been out all this end of winter season to see nothing but snow .Great snowmobile rideing ! Varmit hunting has been so-so .

After last week end i can see where snow is leaving .The green of grass will take its place .Spring is in the air .I did notice that late winter temps in day time are 50 degrees to hot to ride .At nite dropping to 30 degrees .

many moose are to be seen in low lands. I made mental notes of the areas and how many .looking for cows carrying new borns.The moose did winter very well . Did see one small bull with his antlers still in place ,Odd for this time of year .Sure hope i find a grizzly this year to help keep moose calves alive longer .Sheep on mountain sides eating what was left from wind blown snow ,Ewes are heavy with lambs .A few rams can be seen .

Rabbits are in peak cycle this year and lynx can be seen at nite along with coyotes .Of course my running battle with squrriels continues into another year .For 40 years i can't seem to win this war .It is fun trying !

Cabins have wintered good the small log cabin has seen better days. Dry rot has set in around botton logs.The big cabin is settleing more every year .My large log cabin is to be replaced this year with new cabin . So many plans! so little time !

There only 3 seasons to alaska .this winter ,next winter and last winter. Maybe next spring ill get more done .Hunting and fishing seem so important every year .Cant miss any of those seasons .

The snow is gone here at my home in wasilla ,You can see the dry grass from last year ,The yearly mud is showing up right on time .The driveway is a solid mass of mud for the "mean season" .

I find myself looking out my window each day longing for the first signs of spring --Robins comeing home to nest .The blue egg shells in yard tell of new nest of baby birds close by .The large fromation of geese in sky ways headed north again as it is each season.Welcome sight each year are the swans landing on half frozen ponds .Muskrats busy with all their push ups. trying hard to keep up with water fowl stealing the cache of reeds and grasses for their new nests .

What is it about spring that each and every one finds that keeps you wishing its early return ? I would love to hear your stories here .

08/20/5666 12:05:44 creek as i think about spring and what it means to me , i begin to long for home . . see in the spring time , so much life is about , and so many things are so cheerful . you have the birds singing ,the bees humming , flowers are blooming ,trees budding , grass growing , rivers and creeks fillng up and making the most beautiful sounds as the water tumbles over rocks , children laughing and giggling , and so many animals are giving birth to new life . spring is my favorite time of the year because of these things, but most of all it makes me think of home ,a place called heaven. when i finally get there all this will be forever for there is no dieing over there ,everywhere i'll look there will be joy , happiness , and peace and new life all the time . &n bsp; ; &n bsp; ; &n bsp; ;
