August 4, 2018: Alaskan Grown Strawberries...

August 4, 2018

Alaskan Grown Strawberries!

My plant is producing a few ripe strawberries every couple of days, 

and propagating too so have made four other plants from the mother to date...

MAY 2018: RATHER RAINY WX BUT STILL ENJOYABLE IN YAKUTAT ALASKA...

May 2018: Yakutat Alaska

A few photographs of our recent month-long trip

to our Yakutat home 

(away from our Juneau home)...

The second morning after we arrived 

we were delighted to have a deer

along the shore of the lake,
as viewed from our deck...

Many birds come to visit

on a daily basis...

We're slowly adding to our art collection,

shown here below the peak of the ceiling

are my father in law's photographs (Max's Dad) that he painted,

including his painting on the moose horns below them...

We get all types of visitors,

not to mention the feline variety...

Fun finds we like to display...

Evening mountain range and sunset views, 

again, from the deck...

At Situk River

to replenish firewood for the wood stove,

including a picnic that followed 

with brother Dean, his wife Chantil and her mother...

The geese flying overhead and nearby

were nonstop...

The regal

bald eagle...

The sole swan...

Whew...wood's all stocked,

time to eat folks...

Back to the homestead
where the wildlife viewing continues nonstop...

A dear friend brought raspberry bushes from her Juneau property,

along with a couple store-bought variety
that the hubs got to work planting...

Lil' Miss Chelsey decided to take an afternoon siesta
in the meantime...

The hubs did a bang-up job,

all the raspberry bushes now have a new home...

As viewed from the kitchen window on a rainy,
stormy day

appeared this very loud and awesome military aircraft...

These bald eagles are being taunted

by a blue jay
(you'll see that they finally gave up and flew away)...

Early morning foggy and misty 

mountain range (deck view)...

Different bald eagle,

same taunting blue jay
scenario...

Love the shapes and individuality

of bear bread...

Our arrival to Lost River

for a picnic
(me, the hubs and Lil' Miss Chelsey)...

The pup will be 10-years-young the first part of June 2018,

but she still has a lot of get-up-n-go.

She continues to climb and vault
logs like a boss!!

She's tuckered out, 

it's time for dinner...

Bonus,
a king fisher...

Here's what we came across

heading back home...

Another brilliant trip;

planning the next is underway...
