Well, it has warmed up a bit since our last post. Our temps have been climbing to the mid 40s each day. Some days have made it to 50 degrees! The majority of snow is gone from our yard.
Greg did manage to fire the grill up last weekend. Hopefully in the next few weeks we will be able to get our raised beds ready for planting.
Today I took a walk with two friends around Lake Hood. This is a base for many of the seaplanes here in Anchorage.
It didn't appear to be a lot of activity because the lake is still frozen. In a couple of months this lake will be a hub of activity. Planes will be waiting in line to take off from the water.
Someone took the floats off their plane. Maybe the plane is getting serviced and ready for summer action.
The lake has a picturesque setting with the mountains as a background.
You do have to share the road with aircraft. There is a runway right across the road! You can see quite a bit of snow piled up behind the fence in this photo.
This field of planes looks ready for takeoff! Dirt runways are very common here in Alaska.
