TERMINATION DUST, that first dusting of snow on the mountain tops is upon us this morn!!!!!

Termination dust= the main indicator that summer in Alaska is over. As a result, any remaining tourists who witness this dusting will then scatter and run for warmer climes-that, in itself, another indication that summer is over.



A good day to stay home from work, cuddle with my fam, nurse a nasty sore throat, watch movies, eat ice cream(For the throat. Medicinal.), snooze. Things I rarely get to do all in one day!

  1. your day sounds loverly...minus the sore throat(but maybe i can fake it...just for the ice cream...giggle)

    oh the first dusting is always a tale-tale or is it tell-tell sign that Alaskans are all alone and the tourists are running! (well until Iditarod time...)

    enjoy your snuggling with your fam! your photos make me miss Alaska... :(

  3. The snow looks so pretty dusted over the mountains like that. Ice cream and a movie sounds wonderful...I hope your throat feels better soon.

  4. We hopefully have another 6 weeks before we get a dusting--we still have leaf peeper season to enjoy. Aren't you renovating your house or putting on an addition? Have you started? We're on a big push to get building projects done at our house before snow.

  7. You are so lucky to live in that beautiful place!

    Hope you feel better soon. I started with a sore throat just before my inlaws arrived this weekend, now I'm in the throes of a major cold :-(
