It's so beautiful outside

I love Alaska - have I said that lately? I love the snow, the mountains, the rugged beauty. Some look at snow and all they see is cold. I see beauty - God's beauty in everything around us. As I write this, huge, white fluffy flakes are coming down and clinging to everything in sight. The trees and everything outside is covered in it, and it is wonderful!

Here are a few pictures that just don't do it justice, but we will try.


This is the view of Pioneer Peak in the parking lot of Pandemonium Booksellers in Wasilla, Alaska


Talkeetna Mountains from the same parking lot

Below are a couple of photos of my kuspuk parka and mukluk boots, as well as a video of what we woke up to here in Wasilla this morning. The volume is pretty low, so you'll have to turn it up, but you should be able to hear it if you do - enjoy!
