Shaving Down and Greening Up

Summer has truly found me without much blog time.   What's changed?   I guess working 12 hour days and the weather warming up has put a damper on my computing.   Though, I have been able to get away from work more and more as the summer reaches it's peak.   However, it's so buggy outside, I prefer to stay indoors with the cats during my free time.    

Ernesto had an incident with his long locks and the vet decided he needed a new do.   After flipping through a National Geographic magazine he opted for the "Lion Cut"...

Along with his haircut he also had a rotten tooth extracted from his mouth.   All of this greatly improved old Ernie's disposition, and he's become the most affectionate member in House of Cat...

Oh ya? says Hadley...

So ya, anyway, my cats are pretty much the cutest.


I don't know if it's just because I spent the winter here, but this summer seems so much greener than any one previous.   All the purple, yellow, white and pink wildflowers on the side of the road seem just THAT much more pretty.  The fresh, green tips on the spruce trees seem just THAT much more filled with new life.  

Fireweed!

Greenery outside of the outhouse...

   
Moose, moose, moose!  I pretty much see a moose everyday before AND after work.  Where do I live, heaven?   The other night, who I should I see when I pulled into my driveway...

It's coming up on the summer solstice, and I forgot what "darkness" is like.  I went for a late night walk, maybe one or two in the morning, and this was my view...

And not moose... but horses!   My neighbors across the street have brought their horses back.   They're super cute and they love apples!

Cool do!

And as a closing note, I finally got my GC (that's Grand Champion for all you non-pinball nerds) on Sopranos at the Red Fox in Fairbanks.  I've had my eye on that prize for a few weeks now.   It's a low GC, but I daresay well deserved!  As it seems with every game in Alaska, it sure does have it's quirks:)

PWA 4 LIFE.
