Greenhouse from Costco
We have been home just over a month and spent a chunk of that time building a Yardistry 8′ x 10′ greenhouse from Costco. We have lots of rocks on our property so used them before adding the landscape stone that we purchased. We chose to install the greenhouse on a flat area near an…

MV Columbia, Day 2
Today we were onboard the ferry all day except for 1.5 hours onshore in Sitka. While the skies have been heavily overcast, it hasn’t rained all that much since breakfast. At Sitka we toured the Raptor Center. I borrowed the below photo caption from a poster near some bald eagles (“I AM Smiling”). The Raptor…

Dalton Highway, Part I
We had 4 wonderful (and tiring) days on the Dalton Highway. We drove well north of the Arctic Circle on a quest to see wild Musk Ox. Our trip deserves at least 3 posts, one on the animals, one on the mountains and geography, and one on time, distance, and sunlight. As expected, we didn’t…

Blog Upgrade, Me and C Ad-free
I just upgraded this blog to a paid plan. No more ads! Hopefully this is true both in email and on a browser. If you keep seeing ads going forward, please let me know. The tipping point was photos. I had maxed out my 1 GB of free storage and didn’t want to delete the…
