Snow or Not to Snow?

Hi All:


We finally had a snow fall!  However, it's been rather mild so most of it has melted away. We thought you would enjoy some of our winter scenes - it's so quiet and beautiful.  I could not resist making a snowman.


The lake has not begun to freeze yet - perhaps in few weeks.  In the meantime, we take walks around the island.  The snow is not 'good' for skiing yet - it's too wet.


Maggie, the little moose has been hanging out for the past couple of days.  She is looking well and growing.  So she must be able to find sufficient food.  I did learn that the Kenai Wolf pack does come to the island once the lake is frozen - so I'm still wondering if Maggie will make it.  From my understanding, there are about 7 or 8 wolf packs with approximately 80 - 90 wolves that range through the Kenai Peninsula - not sure of those pack numbers how many actually range through this area.  We'll see.


Ernie and Kirby brought the log splitter over to our cabin.  Kirby has a cabin on the island as well - he will leave the island before the lake freezes.  The log splitter will be used to split the logs we cut from the dead falls. The log splitter will be a great help when it comes to reducing the size of  logs that need to fit into the wood stoves -- in the cabin and sauna. 


Take care everyone -
