Beautiful Alaskan Day






Summer has finally kind of arrived, if you call mid 50's to 60's summer :o). At least our flowers are blooming. These bleeding hearts are one of my favorites. Again, I don't have to do anything to them, except cover them with a few leaves in the fall to help protect them from the long winters, and uncover them in May so they will grow. It's wonderful! I like things that are simple and easy.
I finally got Angel, our dog, to stand still long enough for me to take a good picture of her. She is like our shadow. She loves being with Tom & I. While Tom is working in the shop or I'm out in the yard, she is always right there keeping us company. Tom has been working hard to get some finishing work done to the downstairs bedrooms, before his mom and Brian come up in 10 days. We are excited to have them here for a while. I finally planted a few more flowers around in their baskets to help add more color to our world.
Vaughn will be coming in town tomorrow and spending fathers day with us. He is still looking for work.
