But like I said in Marsha's post, if my muse can't enjoy the beach life and has to be holed up inside on a snowy-blowy day, she'll settle for a roaring fire and nice cup of cocoa. We just have to feed our muse the right comination for the time. But I must say the pictures are beautiful!<br />Thanks for sharing.<br />C.K.

They happen infrequently for the most part and I've learned to grope my way to plug in the phone that isn't cordless LOL. To think when I came up here we didn't even have a lighter or matches for the candles -- THAT was a fun power outage LOL.<br /><br />Chris - LOL you crack me up.

Be careful going cross country (and cross sea ice) in a white-out, ditto on a helicopter trip, build at least half an igloo to shelter behind if nature calls when the wind is blowing (shelter behind is a pun), and watch out for the puddles under the snow at breakup -- they can be rivers.<br /><br />Chris H ....

When folks ask 'above what?' you can answer 'just about anything that breathes, and some things that don't.' Seriously, you may have found the ideal writers retreat.<br />I lived in Fairbanks, Alaska, so I have an idea about the rapidly changing daylight. And our caribou learned to love the oil pipeline. They actually changed migration routes to enjoy the warmth of those pipes where they come above ground. Who said animals are dumb?<br />Cheers,<br />Pat DalePat Dalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12190006506963492515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1180935877141446515.post-91376313106032910772011-02-18T06:15:41.796-08:002011-02-18T06:15:41.796-08:00Kay Dee, thanks for stopping by :) Yes, it can get...Kay Dee, thanks for stopping by :) Yes, it can get pricey up here for certain things (unfortunately plane tickets are one of those things). <br /><br />Definitely makes for lots of writing time when I'm too leery of the cold weather to go outside LOL. <br /><br />Thanks for commenting :)L.

I love writing in the winter, but my winter only lasts 4 - 5 months out of the year, I'm not sure I could do longer.<br />You've given me a whole new light on the costs and the life that far North - wow. <br />It definitely gives you lots of writing time.

Yes, thats a sale price. A lot of times you're looking at $1800 ish for a return trip. On bad times where the seats are almost all sold(usually if you're trying to get a very short notice ticket) it can climb into the $2400+ range.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1180935877141446515.post-34682286205002759542011-02-18T05:28:17.895-08:002011-02-18T05:28:17.895-08:00Justine - I hibernate.

It works wonders, though occasionally my boyfriend bursts into my warm bubble with REALLY cold hands. <br /><br />Sadly, my (anonymous) boyfriend doesn't lie. We did see some green... but 3-4 weeks was it. I come from Southern Ontario where it's green from April-October. <br /><br />Thanks for stopping by and commenting, both of you!L. K.
