A woman in Juneau put her husband in a freezer when he died.
This was discovered after SHE died.
Evidently, she froze him so she could continue getting his SS and PFD checks..
We are getting a new chest freezer tomorrow.
Hubby told me not to get any ideas.
Well, Alaska...

🐓 Homesteading is not an aesthetic. It is knowing how to do things.
Grow food. Mend clothes. Put up berries. Sharpen tools. Feed people. Make it through winter.
But what does that look like in Alaska today, after the era of free land claims is long over? 🧵🔪🫐🏡
We look at the history, the free-land myth, and the practical Alaska version of homesteading that is still very much alive.

🎡🚨 FAIR WARNING, ALASKA: Your weekend is about to get VERY busy. 😂
Pig races. Pie. Highland Games. Live music. Local vendors. Runners. A wilderness cruise. Community fun. 🐷🥧🏴🏃♀️🛳️
Basically, sitting at home just got a lot harder to justify.

In parts of Alaska, “waiting for help” means waiting for a plane.
Weather, distance, and capacity decide everything.
So what can we actually do to improve it?

Heyyyyy #Fairbanks! It’s #MidnightSun Festival day! Myself and a TON of other very cool vendors are downtown until midnight tonight, along with performers and food trucks, and all kinds of good stuff.
Come on down and say hi, grab a bite to eat, and take home some art!
Couldn’t possibly ask for a more beautiful day for Fairbanks Folk Fest today… I’m baffled as to why that field isn’t absolutely full of people!
Come on down to Ester Community Park, if you’re in the #FairbanksAlaska area, we’ll be here listening to some good music all day!
What’s Up, Alaska? is basically throwing a statewide party and you’re already on the guest list, whether you planned for it or not. From drumming in Juneau to porch concerts in Sitka, Kodiak rock shows, Ketchikan conversations, café book stops, parenting support, and community gatherings that actually matter, the whole state is fully booked and running on pure summer momentum. Pick your chaos responsibly.

🌱 Alaska’s hemp rules are changing… and if you’ve ever thought about growing, selling, or buying local CBD products, this could matter more than you think. One Alaska farm is already pushing the northern limits of hemp production 👀👇

Holy heck, it’s outdoor market season again, ALREADY!
I’m parked here in Golden Heart Plaza until 8pm tonight, for the first Downtown Market of the year (the booth is a little stripped down, thanks to windy weather making my usual layout inadvisable), and I’ll be here for the next three Third Thursdays as well!
Come say hi!

Alaska Underreported ⚠️
What happens when daily life becomes unlivable?
In rural Alaska, it’s already happening: families leaving, clinics stretched, schools doubling as shelters, freezers harder to fill.
And the strain spreads.

I took these photos a long time ago in my grandma's yard at Moose Creek.
A few years later, I wrote a song about a rainbow that I saw as I was driving up Moose Creek hill. The words came pouring out as I was heading into Palmer from my grandma's house. I started to sing it while driving. As soon as I got back home, I wrote the words down.
My song "Colorful Rainbow" is track 4 on our Little Blue Suitcase CD.

A new video I just created in celebration of my favorite vocalist, Sylvia coming up & performing 40 years ago, August 26 & 27, 1985 at the Alaska State Fair in Palmer.
I'm happy to say I was so fortunate to meet her & get a photo taken. The first of many photos with her & Sylvia concerts throughout the years.

Just days after posting the original of "Knik River Crossing" on my website, it has found a new home. In the next day or so, it'll make it's way south to its new home in the Pacific Northwest.
Prints are available for those interested, both through my website and Etsy:

Hot tip: You can keep a MalX entertained for quite a while, if they think there might be something interesting somewhere underneath 6ft of wet snow. 😂 #DogsOfMastodon #AlaskaLife #UglyDogs #Malinois
It's finally time for the sky! This is really where the yellow underpaint helps out quite a bit. Depending on how much paint I use, the yellow background bleeds through the paint. It's working better than I anticipated.

Usually, I work from the background to the foreground, but this time I made an exception. Since both the clouds and the snow-covered ground uses similar colors, I decided to stick with a similar palette up until it was time to work on the sunset itself. Here we see the large fields of the Fairgrounds, the large barn and the distant mountains.

The weather is always an adventure in Alaska, and rarely in ways you expect. Last week we were in the mid-thirties, so everything was melting. This morning it's -30F. Wheee!
