for Christopher

some giants gone

and i cry
why sometimes what is in our hearts
is miles apart
yes in my heart
i might think it's me and my husband that
are total oppositehere now
he said those trees they need to go
having explained it to me endlessly
i can't see the purpose
not at all
yet i love the light that trees gone do create

i love the light
last week i was surprisingly reminded of that
i was camping out not far from here
but in the dark forest beside a stream
the forest dark and dense
having beauty in it's own
but there is no true love there for me
you know how i love the openness more then anything
i felt this spot was not the Yukon that i love
now i know it's not the Yukon that i love
it is the light the openness
i love my Yukon because
i do live on a sun exposed hill side


aching because of trees, because they live of light too
(aching because i crave a cigarette:)

Rejoicing because of light,
because my son cared for a new born child!
Now how awesome is that!
He gave needles and they complimented him on how painlessly he did it
and the other deep felt experience he had this week;
He cared (with the nurses nevertheless) for this new born child.
What a privilege.
How good can life be!!!

:)





The crocuses are now blooming in abundance
Kips' puddle is overloaded with Northern Pintails
And i will make it through today,
tomorrow and Friday are easy i will be in town.
So i quit smoking once again
and talking about seems to help me
thanks for listening again

snow and sky



Do you see the tracks on the mountain? these are made by skidoos 'highmarking'
I'll be writing more in a bit
i am quitting smoking again
the first day was easier than last times first day in the same circumstances
today is hard!

caribou






We saw many beautiful creatures (and a blooming crocus) today around the LaPrairie's Bison Range.

But most amazing to see two caribou!

We know some live in the mountains around here, but none of us have ever seen one, and neither have we heard of anyone running into them.
Well today Virginia and i did. On the bank of the Takhini River.
