Preparing for Winter

Living in a valley has its perks – there are mountains everywhere for one. Unfortunately the mountains can block the sun pretty effectively though.

We’ve moved from living in a half-hour-of-direct-sunlight-per-day zone (where we were in a basement apartment to boot), to somewhere that won’t drop to less than four hours of direct sunlight, even in the dark depths of Winter. This should be an improvement.

Man Moose sighting

Another drive out in K-Country, and a quick look in at the swampy land near Engadine Lodge (it’s moose country). And what do you know, there was a boy moose there! With antlers and everything.
