APR 19, 26 (3 / 3) .. SPRING IS HERE BUT WINTER IS HANGING ON..

 It IS warming up.

The temperature has been running in the 34°F range.

Yesterday, when looking out from our living room at the Green Strip behind our Condo, this is what we saw.


Do you see the Electrical Utility Box on the left side of the above photo. It is surrounded by snow. 

In the below photo it is now surrounded by brown grass.


Looking across our Green Strip yesterday we saw the below scene.

 Focus on the white drain pipe near the ground on the left below.


In the below photo, you can see the snow has receded.


And? 

Patti and I are still "Desert Rats". After spending the recent 5-1/2 months in the Arizona Desert we are cold. 

Still smiling and happy to be home in Anchorage, Alaska.

APR 18, 26 (2 / 3) .. SPRING IS HERE BUT WINTER IS HANGING ON..

Patti and I are "Desert Rats" after 5-1/2 months in sunny and warm Arizona.

We have been shivering cold here when we go outside and get into a our cold truck.

-  -  -  -  -  -  -  -

I did a second "Photo Shoot" later today to augment the photos you have already seen in Part 1 of this 2 Part Post.

I posted the below photo in Part 1.


In the middle of the above three vehicles, is a white car.

Behind this white car, in the background, is a rather large pile of snow.


Now I want to take a closer look at that pile of snow.


This is quite a large pile of snow. It was created by the plowing of snow in our parking lot. The snow has to go someplace and this pile is one such place.

Now, from the street, we see our building and more snow.



In the below photo, almost directly ahead, is our Condo.

In the below photo, on the left is the entrance into our building. Our Condo is to the right at ground level.



In the summer it looks like you see below.

When we come home from Costco, with a large quantity of groceries, I take them from our Suburban right up to the window. Patti will take them from me and I will go back for more.

Today we made a Costco trip. There is absolutely no way that I can just go to the above window. 


But! I can get to the window with groceries on the below snow free path (the width of a shoe) against our building.



All in all, winter is still a real factor in our lives back here in Anchorage.

Sending you all a lot of smiles.

APR 18, 26 (1 / 3).. SPRING IS HERE BUT WINTER IS HANGING ON..

 Saturday, April the 18th 2026.

This past Thursday night, late, Patti and I arrived back home after spending this past winter down in Lake Havasu City, Arizona.

Being "Desert Rats" we are quite cold with near freezing temperatures.


The below photos, taken from, and around our Condo, plainly show that the evidence of this past Winter still remains.

Looking out from our living room.






Now we walk around to our front porch and look at the snow there.






There you have a look at our snow on April the 18th 2026.

Nice to be home in Anchorage, Alaska.

FEB 14, 26.. HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY 2026

HAPPY 

VALENTINE'S 

DAY 2026  

To one and to all!

Let's all take a look at what our friends at NATIONAL TODAY have to say about VALENTINE'S DAY..

Valentine’s Day is celebrated on February 14, and we are ready to shower our significant others with love and tokens of our affection.

This day of love is celebrated in so many ways, it is always exciting to see what new traditions are included or created year after year.

We believe that it came from the feast for the patron saints named Valentine, by the Catholic Church around 496 A.D. Numerous early Christian martyrs were named Valentine.

It was during the 1400s that the day was associated with romance. Messages, or ‘Valentines’ as they were called, began to appear. Hand written letters and poems declaring affections of love became more and more popular. In the mid-1800s, Valentine’s cards began to be commercially produced and traditional gifts were candy and flowers, especially red roses symbolizing love and beauty.


HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY..

FEB 12, 26.. TODAY IS ZILLA'S BIRTHDAY..

Dating back to the Autumn of 1975, when we met in Frankfurt, West Germany, Jim (who I have nicknamed Godzilla or 'Zilla for short) and I have been friends for over 50 years.

February 12th is Jim's birthday.

Patti and I along with Jim, enjoyed one of our most memorable Birthday Dinners together at the Idle Spurs Steak House in Barstow, California.

Senior Moment. Not one of the three of us can, searching our three brains, recall the year we went there.

Sadly, the Idle Spurs Steak House, that opened in 1974, went out of business in late January of 2020, after 46 years.


A happy, and at the same time, a sad memory.

Happy Birthday Jim..
