I love showing off my home!
Janiene and I drove up to Talkeetna today and we spent a few hours post-holing around my home. It's as pretty as usual, with fresh moose tracks and droppings, crunchy deep snow, chickadees and woodpeckers, and the occasional solitary little high bush cranberry dangling from a twig.
No new snow and with the outrageously warm weather we've been having (over 32°F) I'm getting excited about this summer's plans. First and foremost, hopefully starting in May, I'll be digging. Lots. Starting with the root cellar and then hopefully working on digging the outhouse. That means two very very deep holes... so if anyone enjoys the pure satisfaction of manual labor and being outside, feel free to come join me! After the root cellar is in, it's getting the deck/floor done and then logs, logs, logs. But today I just strolled around in thigh-deep snow taking in the fresh air and sharing my dreams with a friend - envisioning the cozy little cabin, the outhouse, the woodpile, and maybe even a flat-stone path to the netted gazebo by the lake, and maybe even a sauna in which I can sweat myself clean, and maybe even sharing it with someone else.
After all the dreaming, I went to see my new rental. Since the last post, I actually met another Talkeetnan, Julie, and she was moving to Cordova and wanted to rent out the cabin she was in for the next couple of months. So now, I'm living in the Beaver House, a cute rustic-looking cabin built by a miner, Jim Beaver. It's the perfect cozy place to finish out the winter in, until I can move out to my land in the summer.
