Spent a little time at our friends’ house Wednesday evening and enjoyed their beautiful garden. It takes a tremendous effort to tend all these plants. I’m inspired by these two. 💗
Adorned with nautical motifs, throughout. Bursting with columbines and pansies, roses and fireweed not yet bloomed. Forget-me-nots and poppies. Glorious!
Can you believe it? It only took a decade but I used up all my data for my free plan. I had to upgrade! Now I have a new domain. Fancy shmancy! And more storage to fill up with fun Alaskan experiences. I hope you enjoy the ride!
After 9 years of consecutive closures, clamming was opened for a short 4 day window, July 1-4, 2023. We wanted to give the kids the opportunity to try clamming and hoped for a few for Dean to enjoy. Bag & possession limits were low, 15 each. But we didn’t get that many, we came home with 3.
But we enjoyed some fresh Alaskan air, saw a little bit o’ sunshine and got some exercise. We also found a couple dozen hermit crabs, some sea snails, tiny shrimps and barnacles in the tide pools. Lots of cool creatures during these minus tides.
It was a good way to spend the first half of Independence Day! Now for some bovine flesh seared over an open fire, a cold adult beverage and poppits. (No fireworks allowed!)
Solstice means fish in our family!
Memories from 5 years ago.
This past winter-spring I’ve been assisting a client with updates in order to sell her custom cedar log home. She went about the process systematically; hired a home inspector for a thorough inspection report, hired a licensed contractor to do major repairs, and consulted with plumbers & electricians for specialized repairs. After all initial issues were addressed she had a follow -up inspection with a couple minor issues to resolve, one of which was this vanity drain. It seems inspectors don’t care for flexi-pipe extensions.
She invested quite a bit into maintaining and preparing her home for sale, in order to get a premium price and hopefully sell quickly. And it paid off for her!

Alaska on my mind...
