As a snow covered Mount Healy looks on from betwixt the clouds, I emerge from the woods, skirting the golf course on my way into work. Shoots of newly green grass push their way through the barely thawed surface of what was just a month ago a frozen tundra.
Soon the course will be rolling knolls of fresh green carpet on which will be played many a memorable round of golf, as our guests experience interior Alaska in the summertime.
A chill, not even remotely related to the temperature, runs through me, causing a wave of gooseflesh to raise up on my arms. Iām really here.
Crisp clean air tinged with
just the slightest hint of frost,
thaws once frozen heart.

Glad you are settling in. I’ve read that with any move, even just across the street – to feel settle takes about six months.
