Maybe I'll have another FO soon to share. Links to this post. Okay, so I've b...

Welcome to a blog about knitting and some of the experiences living in Anchorage, Alaska. Monday, May 25, 2009. Chick-A-Dee (dee) Observations by a Backyard Naturalist. Chickadee with spider in mouth. Even as I'm typing this on my deck, this sunny Memorial Day, I can hear them calling to each other as they return to their brood. One bird tends to stay with the nestlings, while the other's out getting a few bugs. We did have a few times that I thought they'd died, as we've had 3 small birds hit our window...

Welcome to a blog about knitting and some of the experiences living in Anchorage, Alaska. Saturday, March 28, 2009. When I was 23. These young ladies were our "Naturalist" on our snorkel trip to Molokini and the Turtle Arches with the Pacific Whale Foundation. A few months later, we were on our way, driving the Al-Can to Alaska, in our cars both packed to the tipping point with our belongings (except our bicycles, for another story). Eighteen years later, we're still here and it still, occasionally, ...
