Yup – that there is mah house – peeling paint and all. And, there are AT LEAST three shades of green in thar. Ooops – there’s even some yellow. 😉 Nope, not gonna pull them – that’s the grandbabies’ flower garden, you see. Nothing better than a little darlin coming up with a “flower, Nana”. I love it.

So – what you are seeing there besides the peeling painted house and the yellow “flowers” – rhubarb just starting to leaf out in the lower left of the photo – and green grass invading the “flower patch”. The bush to the right is a lilac that has been “growing” for years in that corner – youngest daughter (Ladybug) planted it and it just has never gotten much bigger – I think that is because the moose chomp it down every winter.

Oh – and yes, the grass is still pretty brownish and thin. It’s only May, after all. There is still snow and ice alongside some roads (thankfully not ours).

Alaska – you gotta love it (or else you’ll leave it.)

btw – definition for you. “Sourdough”

that’s someone who is sour on Alaska and doesn’t have enough dough to leave. I’m not a sourdough yet. (badumbum!)
