Celebrating some lovely dianthus from my garden this month. 🙂 Share Your Desktop

Our rainy season has arrived! After a dry summer, it has been nice, I admit. A few days ago, however, I was planning to go on a walk while the kids were at their activities. It was RAINING and WINDY and it was a very high high-tide. So, I parked at the beach and read […]

Whoa. It’s been a month already!!! So many post ideas in my head and, clearly, they haven’t seen the light of day yet. (Many thanks to Clare for tagging me and incenting me to get back here!) I’ve spent most of the last month at the pool, at the basketball gym, or driving, LOL! And […]

I moved to Alaska in October almost two decades ago. I will never forget flying over the mountains and seeing the reds and yellows down low, with snowy peaks. Coming from Colorado, where fall is yellow, it was glorious to see the reds and auburns! (And for it to be cooler…aaaah!) I’ve been out on […]

My girl would love it if you would support her! She’s really trying for one of the top fundraising spots so she can get that team jacket!! These wreaths are pretty awesome…I admit I was sceptical last year, but they lasted months! Delivery available locally, or in the contiguous 48, around Thanksgiving! Thank you, in […]

Today’s scariness? Just how fast slugs can devour a large mushroom! 😀 What’s scary in your neck of the woods? Share at this week’s Sunday Stills challenge! {You know what else is scary? How much kids have to fundraise to play sports! If you haven’t yet, check out the letter my oldest wrote to raise […]

We’ve had some spectacular sunsets lately. This one at the beach where I go to walk and/or read a book while my kiddos are at practice. (We’re now in a stretch of dreary, rainy, icy weather, so I’m extra-enjoying looking at this on my desktop!) What are you looking at this month? Share Your Desktop

There is so much brightness in Alaska in the winter!! (And a totally different kind of brightness in the summer, LOL!) It was recently pointed out to me that everyone gets the same amount of daylight, no matter where you live on the globe. You just get it in different increments, and at different times. […]

2026 is starting off at firehose speed. So, I’m keeping this one simple. Gorgeous winter blues of various shades, looking across Cook Inlet at Mount Redoubt. Sunday Stills: Aquamarine / Icy Blue

January featured some AMAZING aurora – and at reasonable hours! (Think 9pm and 6am, instead or 2 or 3am, LOL!) One night, the entire sky was covered in these undulating ribbons. We watched for a while, then I drove my daughter to hockey practice, and I watched for a while more! It lasted HOURS! Some […]
