I sat at the bluff overlooking the mouth of the Kenai River and Cook Inlet during lunch today – it’s a great place for photos – I’ll share if any came out – later after downloading.

But today? Today was special! I now know that it is officially spring in Alaska: I saw my first pair of ducks winging madly overhead – AND – I heard my first woodpecker. Yay!

Not much sun today – it breaks through enticingly on occasion, though. Mt. Redoubt had a cloud layer right across her middle. An all-around lovely bit of time away from shop.

Don’t forget to go and vote for Knitting Passions or Watching Survivor – okay? And, if you are nominated for something, let me know so I can go vote for you, too.

And, congrats to Lessa for her new “watching” blog – Watching Rachel Ray.

I tell you, Lessa’s snark is on fulltime these days. I love living life vicariously through her. It is SO much fun!
