First of all….I’ve found a new addiction – making collages on PicMonkey!  It was soooo much fun.  I’ve never understood the thrill of digital scrapbooking – wow!  probably just as well.  I spent this rainy day making collages for the blog – you will now see so many more pictures than you would have :-D.

As I mentioned on facebook earlier today – raindrops are dropping on our head….in the 10 days, we have seen one day with the sun.  We only see the mountains around us about half the time it has been so cloudy/rainy/breezy/foggy, and chilly.  But – I LOVE BEING HERE, the view, and the lifestyle promoted when here.  Everything slows down (or comes to a stop). 

Remember I told you about our wonderful shower…oh, it is wonderful!  However, when it is chilly (as in 42-50* with the breeze/wind off the glacier) as it has been – I do choose to time my shower carefully.  We have a small hot water heater, so while the shower includes hot water – you do have to shut the water off while washing your hair, shaving, body scrubbing — or you will run out of hot water.  The shower is located under the far corner of the deck.  I took a picture so you could see it ‘in action’ :-D, besides I was waiting for the water to get warm.  What sits in the house is very cold.
See that tuft of grass to the right of the ‘floor’?  It is about a foot lower than that front right corner – that is the top of a very steep ‘hill’.  It is not a sheer drop off cliff but if you slip and start down, you won’t slow down real quick.  The top right picture is the view you get to enjoy, savor (when it’s warm out), and look at while in the shower.  The bottom right picture is the ‘entrance’ to the shower.  You stand under the cabin, leaving clothing & whatever you don’t want wet or potential of heading downhill.  Then there are three rock steps down to the platform.  On the left, the wire basket holds shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and razors.  And the stump just in front of it helps hold the wire basket flat – and to set your shower necessities on, or just to keep your balance so you don’t head downhill.
