Last summer I built a 16 x 16 foot enclosed fish hut for, left to right, my wife Donna and mother-in-law Martha Smelcer, and friends, Judy Musgrove and Daphne Gustafson. The screened-in Fish Hut-o-matic in Tazlina is their personal processing area for fresh from the Copper River red salmon—no boys allowed. The ladies are pictured hard at work—as they call it—Fun! They sure put it to use. They all can’t wait for summer to arrive to get back to work.

On the way home Saturday night, we saw this area of very weird, strange stuff. At first it looked like lots of awful plastic trash by the side of the road, but then we realized it was ice! It was a flooded roadside corner area that had frozen on the surface. Then the water suddenly drained leaving the ice sheets stuck to the trees and weeds leaving this amazing, icy-cool spectacle.
It's a bird, it's a plane, it's super Vole! This little guy climbed the tree to get to the peanut butter that I put out for the birds, and he can eat a lot. After he/she finished off the peanut butter, it turned to the sunflower seeds. It is eating me out of house and home, but I don't mind because it brings in the Owls.
