Frost But Still No Snow
A few nights ago, we had a slight dusting of snow. There are still pockets of snow visible in my yard, but it looks more like powdered sugar that’s been tossed here and there in small areas. A look ahead at the weather forecast, shows a chance of snow on Friday, but no significant accumulation. Will we have a snow-less October? Probably not, but I do believe that this is the longest that snow has held off since we arrived here.
The frost in the morning is beautiful. I love the way the grass sounds when it crunches under my feet during morning walks with Sedona. I love the way the air feels; crisp and clean. In the afternoon, the temperature goes back up into the high 20s and 30s. Except for the last two days, we’ve had abundant sunshine too. Yesterday and today it’s overcast and feels much colder, even though the temperature hasn’t varied too much.

On Saturday, I drove into town to meet (for the first time!) Karla, who keeps the blog “To Alaska and Beyond“. Karla and her husband moved up to AK last year from Minnesota. They live in Delta Junction, which is about 100 miles from Fairbanks. Karla was in Fairbanks to get an oil change and attend a surprise birthday dinner for a friend. We met at Gallos Mexican Restaurant for lunch.
It was a fantastic lunch get-together, and I do hope to do it again sometime. We both talked non-stop and making conversation was quite easy. I’m so happy we finally had the chance to meet in person! (*waves to Karla*)
Karla and her husband recently moved into a gorgeous log cabin that is surrounded by trees. In her blog you can read about the resident black bear who’s been nosing around the property, as well as the cow moose who decided to stand guard over Karla’s car - delaying her drive to work one morning. Ah! Life in Alaska! The link to her blog is above, and also in the sidebar.
