Esther & Ella 2 years old!!
Ahhhh….. summer has finally arrived!!!! Today we had sunshine, rain, a rainbow, and now sunshine again. Tony fertilized all the grassy areas while it was raining. Nearly everything is green. We’ve been happily cleaning debris from last fall’s terrible windstorm. Things are starting to shape up and look pretty. It does seem like the raspberry patch and the strawberry patch are having a rough time.
Last week, we had a clear cold night where the temperature dipped down to 29°. Some of the fresh transplants (squash) and some people’s flowers were “touched”. Most of our days have been between 65° and 75°. With the few rainy moments we’ve had, we’ve not even two inches of rain so far this month.
We planted the transplants last Monday night.
MAY IN "HER" GARDEN...
A couple that always parks their air boat on our runway, was at their cabin at George Lake last week when the husband was killed by a black bear. Here are links to the most recent articles. Bear killed by trooper linked to fatal mauling near Delta Junction andhttp://www.newsminer.com/news/
Bill and Kathy went to Anchorage last week to have some tests done to ensure that Bro Bill’s heart is doing okay – it is!!!! The doctor said he has the heart of a 26 year old!
Ann took Al to Anchorage last weekend for a PET scan after his recent skin cancers (two different kinds). At this point, everything looks very good. Ann’s brother’s children – two girls and one boy (all in their 20’s) have come to visit Ann and Al.
Last Friday afternoon, the guys were burning across the road. A wind whipped up, and the fire got away from the guys. Everyone was frantically called and many people from the farm and up creek showed up to help. Disaster was averted. Forestry showed up too, but they were only advising. If they had actually helped us, we could’ve either been fined or had to pay a bill. There are still hot spots that the guys are keeping an eye on and hosing down.
Hope Margraf has gone home. Andy and Sarah Jane are gone to visit family in the states. Kathryn and John are now safely in Hoonah. The first few days, it rained a lot. Kathryn was not excited about that. She’s had a wee bit of sunshine since.
Carolyn took Kerri Geyer to Fairbanks to have her tonsils and adenoids taken out. She is now home and is almost as good as new. Jessy had to be taken to town yesterday because of a really bad throat. She’ll be home soon, too, I hope.
Joey has been home for a week. Tony was happy to see him since the guys needed help with disking and planting ATR. Joey leaves within a day or two for work.
Luca Casey was released from the Anchorage hospital, and the Casey family are all home inFairbanks.
I heard from Rachael Williamson that Shane is doing well with his chemo although he’s having more bad days than before since the chemo is building up.
Olivia is home for a few days. Lizzie came home for an overnight visit last night. Ella’s parents came out for Saturday night. J I heard Stacey Casey is here while Pete is working at Ft. Greely for a bit. Stacey is an attendant on the Alaska Railway, sounds like fun and plenty of lovely panoramas.
Talked to PatLou a few times and he is doing well and keeping busy with fire season. He is now on the Hotshot crew for Pioneer Peak, a pro crew that goes in first, after smoke jumpers. Am sure you all hear about the death of a smoke jumper in CA...glad Pat does not do that...
Here's Pat, second from left with a Mohawk...with Pioneer Peak Crew...
ROB ENJOYS BLOOPING IN TH CREEK
The sky is beautiful right now, but I don’t feel like tromping outside for a photo. You’ll have to be happy with a rainbow picture instead.
