worth blogging about...




So far, as of last week, Anchorage needed 9 inches to break the 1954-55 record of 11 feet (133 inches). Somehow, this feels worth mentioning. We just had some help clearing off our roof, which was a good 28" deep of dense, settled snow. Often, late March delivers another load of snow, usually 8-12" and heavy and wet. A number of roofs have collapsed around the city throwing everyone into a bit of a panic about it all. Now we have a literal mountain of snow, which I call the castle, behind the house with 4' deep pathway surrounding it. This could be exciting, because before the roof was cleared we were playing gophers in the snowbanks next to the road in front of the house. We even managed to build a tunnel with a pop up hole. Who knows what we'll do with "the castle".

Wow!!!!! I actually must say I am jealous of that snow situation. And Everett is so tall. And Jack's nose is indeed so red.
