Rebel Dog

Unfortunately, dogs can’t read. Of course this is the first place Nolan chooses to pee when we get in from Bethel. I tried to look the other way.

After 3 days of rain last week we are happy to see colder temps and snow. The rain ruined the trails and made a skating rink out of the tundra. But today we continue to get a dusting of snow. Nolan is ready! He loves snow!

But even more exciting is Nolan’s upcoming trip to Wisconsin. He can’t wait to go grouse hunting.

Staging a picture

Today we went out to take our Xmas pictures. It was really cold and windy. After all of the set up, I went home to discover that my settings were on the lowest setting and I didn’t take any high resolution pictures.

At least we had a warm pot of snow shoe hare stew in the crock pot. Tom put out a dozen snares and this was the first victim.

This is what the boys do while I am Xmas shopping. At least I am shopping online in my pjs.
