Knitting, skiing, hiking, biking, dogs, tundra, mountains, cooking. Thursday, January 5, 2017. Living The Dream . . . Reality Check! These photos remind me of why I do what I do in life. I live in a rural mostly Inupiaq village on the shores of Norton Sound which is just off the Bering Sea. Life has it challenges out here and it has great rewards! Work can be hard and frustrating! Then I get outside and the world opens up and the faces smile and we all have a blast! Sun set was a burst of color. His dad ...

Knitting, skiing, hiking, biking, dogs, tundra, mountains, cooking. Saturday, October 22, 2016. October's full moon setting over Norton Sound about 7:00 am last weekend. Our daylight is slipping away and darkness is returning to the north. I actually really enjoy the approach of our long nights. I find the whole cycle of the seasons in the northern latitudes very comforting. Looking down into the village of Unalakleet with ice taking over the river and the slough.

http://wool-n-ski.blogspot.com/2016/12/knit-girls.html
Knitting, skiing, hiking, biking, dogs, tundra, mountains, cooking. Thursday, December 29, 2016. I have written about the Knit Girls before and here is an update of them in action.

There is white in the center o...

Some folks are night people something I can not understand at all, just like night people don't get morning people. I know it is a genetic link somehow as my father was the before the crack of dawn guy. Nothing is better than that first cup of coffee early in the morning- -just wonderful!
