Playing Catch Up!

Yeah, so it's been quite a while. Since our last post, we've picked up and moved to the beautiful Mat-Su valley (Wasilla to be precise), bought a house, painted it, got new and more chickens, making new friends and GROWING.

Lasty beautiful moments in Juneau

Winter, Christmas, etc. with the Hazelnut

Here's a little smeltering-o-pics from our winter in Juneau, Christmas visit in Montana and plain ol' good life winter style.

Shoveling the chickens out.

You need these sunny moments in Juneau.

The Hazel Plant Grows in Juneau

After a summer of rockin' travels and visits, we settled into our little evolving urban homestead in the valley. My family came for a visit and while they didn't get anything on their hunt, we sure got a lovely chicken coop out of it!

 Hazel's love affair with chickens begins...
 Brave (poor) chicken.

 The finished coop!


 Beautiful sunsets at Berners Bay.
 Can you spot our boat afloat...rocks?

 Oh Gus...he lives the life.
 Poor sick little rosy cheeked Hazel, passed out when she had a cold.
 Window-watching friends...
 Don't feel sorry for them...ok, maybe for Gus since it was his first time, but Fern is on her 10th porcupine quill life.










 One of maybe 5 sunny days this summer.
 Hazel's first significant bloody lip.

 The baby chicks in their brooder.
 Hazel's first successful attempt eating with a fork!

 Going on a rainforest walk.
 Bike ride!!
 I pick my dad up in style at the airport...it was his 55th birthday so he got the senior citizen treatment.
 The coop naked.
 Baby chicks moved into the coop!
 Hazel got really dirty that day...quickest way to get her clean, eh?
 Sister Am, me and my Momma Deb.

She thinks she's a dog...who can blame her, her only siblings are animals!
