We love you dearly and wish you a wonderful year ahead.

Not a great success story.

Can you see the size of those flakes?

We’ve been getting a little snow but not much really. Just the right amount to make the roads slick. Hence, I’ve been staying home as much as possible the past couple days. Well, not really “home” but at the Anderson’s doing my teen-sitting duties for a couple weeks for some very nice boys. One from Sweden and one from Germany.

When you live on the river as the Anderson’s do, the eagles fly up and down it all day. No, I didn’t capture a photo of one. Nor did I catch a shot of the otter or seal or beaver or “something” out there today as well.

I thought I might like to finally take the stairs down the property to the riverside in the daylight today and got just this far… I couldn’t even see where the stairs ended and was dizzy just looking at them. Such a lame Alaskan I am!

No, I don’t have anything profound to share, just this photo and info I ran across this morning:

It is difficult to visualize just how large Alaska really is. At 570,374 square miles, Alaska is more than twice the size of Texas, the 2nd largest state, and is larger than all but 18 of the countries in the world. There are more miles of coastline in Alaska than the rest of the U.S. combined.

If Alaska were superimposed over a map of the lower 48 (as you can see in the image below), its western tip would sit in Sacramento, CA, its northern tip in Duluth, MN, and its eastern tip in Savannah, GA.

While Alaska is by far the largest state, it has the 4th lowest population (there are fewer people here than in the country’s smallest state, Rhode Island). Alaska has a population density of 1.09 people per square mile.

And that is your Geography lesson for today…

I just caught this lovely daybreak at 8:40 a.m. this morning.

I tossed my stones at the river today and I feel lighter.

I even saw a seal bobbing up to the surface a couple times.
