breaking camp for winter at our remote off-grid wilderness property

First snow

 Hi folks, just wanted to do a small posting. Last Sunday I woke up about 5:30 am to hit the outhouse and there was our first snow on the ground, not much but, it is still the first snow.


                        This is what I woke up to this morning. Brrrr!
It's 12:05pm and I just had a bowl of Grilled chicken and sausage gumbo, perfect day for it.
I want to share a video that I am subscribed to on Youtube. Dave and his wife Brooke are a very interesting couple Please check these to out, I'm sure you will enjoy their videos.

Hopefully, you can just click on it and go right to their videos. If not you will have to copy and paste in the YouTube search engine, trust me, you will enjoy them. 

Their videos bring back a lot of great times I've had in the past and every time I watch a video from them, it gets me to thinking about my life then and now. Too tell the truth I like the then life I had as opposed to my now life. So, I am doing some serious thinking now, was I better off then or now? I tend to look to the "THEN" and I think those of you who have been with me from the beginning know, I was a much different person because, then, I had purpose and life was a bit harder which I liked. I would like some serious feedback on what you think and what direction you think would make me happier. Remember, this is a test, I will make the decision  which way my life will go. Hope you all enjoy this post. Take care

Sunday blueberry picking day 10/4/2020

 Hi everyone, Sunday started out nice and sunny so, I decided to go up Hatcher's Pass and pick blueberries. It's kinda late but, there are usually some still waiting to be picked. So, I loaded up my car and headed up.

           As you can see there is more snow than the last time up there




 
 I was surprised how small they were this year up there.



It was chilly up there and I noticed the Sun started going away and I knew                                        it was going to rain.

It's very hard to move around in this area because, the ground is soft and I am wearing soft sided shoes, that don't feel right.
                                                     OOPS!
It started raining so, I gave up, I was using a quart container but, only managed to fill half in an hour and fifteen minutes because the size of the blueberries.

I decided to take some photos as I left mainly to make this post worth it.














When I got home, the cabin was chilly so, I started a fire and made some Cream of Chicken Vegetable soup. Mmmm! So good.

Well, that's it for Sunday, I hope you enjoy and please stay safe.

                                             Take care
