Spring's Surprises

Eureka! I found the snow shovel!

I figured once enough snow melted off the back deck & yard, it would make its presence known. And lo 'n behold... the front end emerged from the receding snowbank on the deck just this afternoon.

I'd say we probably have one of the few hibernating snow shovels in all of Alaska.

I wonder what else we'll find once the rest of the snow melts. Countless treasures, I'm sure!

We've begun doing a little house hunting in our spare time. It's a daunting process. Prices remain fairly high here despite the "buyers market". But we're optimistic we'll find something we can afford that works for our family.

Since we can't seem to part with all of our "mystery boxes" and "sentimental attachments", we require a good deal of interior storage. That, and 4BR 2BA should do it... We'll keep you posted.
