Berries & Bugs
The backyard is full of these beauties! Well, not the whole backyard. But I decided awhile ago to let them grow down along part of the fence. With the warm weather we had in June they started getting ripe much earlier than usual. The best part is that I'm not contending with Orb Weavers (that

Camping ~ Homer, Alaska
Not much can beat a cup of hot chocolate on a chilly day of camping. We had a great spot right on the beach… Had to keep the fire going pretty much the whole time to stay warm. I'm happy to say I was able to cook a little breakfast between the raindrops. The pancakes

Chicken University
Tonight I drove out to Palmer, Alaska {about an hour outside of Anchorage} to attend a chicken class! Palmer is farm country and it's just beautiful out there. If I had to pick my favorite town in Alaska, Seward & Palmer would probably tie. Kodiak & Homer would be in the mix too…they just take

Perks of summer in Alaska
Took a drive down the inlet last night and was able to pull over just in time to catch a photo of the train. The really cool thing is that this was taken at about 11:15 p.m. A bit overcast along the mountains, but still light! I love the summers here. ♥

Eklutna
Another beautiful day in Alaska! Sunday around here is usually the day for laundry, cleaning house, grocery shopping…getting ready for the coming week. Not today! :) Our summers are so short, and the day was so pretty ~ we blew off the chores and drove out to Eklutna Lake. The temperature was in the low

awww…a Bunny!
This cutie has taken up residence in our neighborhood ~ specifically in the flowers, as you can see. :) His coloring makes him look like a wild bunny, but when he showed up so did a little grey & white Lop. We think somebody must have turned their pets loose. My neighbor (a veterinarian) managed

Rivers & Tides
Do you know the artist, Andy Goldsworthy? My daughter and I really love his beautiful work and recently re-watched the documentary on him called Rivers & Tides. He creates such amazing arrangements with natural objects…rocks, sticks, flowers. Hard to explain really how exactly right his work feels. The arrangements are so precise, the scale, the

Fair Times
Ok, honestly…there's not been a lot of crafting going on over here in the last couple days. I'm a bit under the weather, so although I have a million ideas swirling as always – I've mostly been early to bed & late to rise. So – how about I share some of images from last

Critter Visit
We spent a really great afternoon at the Alaska Zoo today. I just love these cute goats! Munch, munch, munch… This Alpaca made me laugh too…he's obviously had a roll in the hay!The Snowy Owl was so pretty… I'm always torn when it comes to my feelings about zoos. I love to see the animals,
