Boreal Chickadee
Sometimes, I watch out my window at the squirrels and birds and feel as if I'm a lucky guy. I've been thinking of leaving Alaska. Not that I don't love this place but that the cost of living here is just getting higher and higher.
Nonetheless, I won't leave because of one thing. Fear, fear of being homeless if I should sell this place and leave. I know I'll never get enough to purchase a new place completely if I ever should leave this one.
So, I'am here until the Creator calls me I guess or my ship sails up the Badger Slough. I kind of doubt as that will ever happen.
It could be worse, as you said. You have shelter (but you should insulate the window a little), a little bit of land around you, beautiful scenery and all the furry and feathered friends to enjoy.
ReplyDeleteDo you grow vegetables? I hear that they get really big in Alaska. One zucchini could last you all year.
And best of all, you make all the people who come to your webcam and blog a little happier every day.

allan from New Zealand, yes the red squirrels do not hibernate and stay active as do the Northern Flyers. You will see them on the feeders in the coldest of weather. Thanks for commenting on the blog and if you watch the live cams, you will see what I mean this winter.
ReplyDeleteThanks Z, if nothing else, I'm glad some folks come to look. My squirrels and birds are the stars.
ReplyDeleteHey, Allan! I grew up in New Zealand (in Dunedin) and I thought squirrels were pretty neat when I got to Chicago. They're rather like small, short-eared, long-tailed rabbits that climb trees. :-)
ReplyDeleteBut I do miss New Zealand's birds.
