More Maintenance

Everything in Alaska requires more work , it seems: running water, warm houses, getting the dogs to relieve themselves more than 3 steps from the front door. We can't even have a snowman without it creating more work. Remember this guy? Every time it snowed since we made him we were brushing the snow off of him to keep him pretty. Then we got a big dump of snow and this is what happened. And those skis we had sticking out from under him? That wasn't a good idea! Now they are frozen in place and they interfere with shoveling. Well, off to rescue the snowman!
