How cold is it up there, anyway? The temperature in Fahrenheit and Celsius for Galena, Alaska.

Thanksgiving in Galena

Our turkey before it came out; Isa really outdid herself this year with excellent cooking. (Below) There's nothing like whale blubber as an appetizer. Two of my boarding school students (Mo from Chevak and Jess from Little Diomede)enjoyed the muktuk gathered earlier this year in Pt. Hope, Alaska. Recipe for muktuk: Serve frozen. Cut into strips. Dip in teriyaki, then dip again in a combination of cajun spices and garlic salt. Yummy.


Isabella as she cooks.

I just put in all new garden pages with lists of all the flowers and veggies we've gotten to grow up here. Check it out.


Dinner was walking all over the road during autumn, so JoJo and I went out and got a few with our pellet guns. These birds were tasty, too.


Looking east on the trail 10 miles east of Galena.

Across the river toward the Illinois Hills.

Here's one of Isa's beautiful paintings.
