Hi friends!

Summer is already beginning to fade here in Alaska and many of my favorite flowers along with it. Take a minute and visit the Alaska Site and take a second (or first, if you haven't been there yet) stroll through my Fireweed garden.

I've added a new photo to the article now that the season is winding down and the Fireweed are "going to cotton". Not as pretty as the early season blossoms, but spectacular in its own way.

Now for something new; here's the most recently posted article from the Alaska site at BellaOnline.com.

Cold Hands, Warm Heart by Jeff King - Book Review
Jeff King, four-time Iditarod Sled Dog Race Champion, shares his life and his adventures in this charming book. Illustrated by Jeff's wife, Donna, a talented landscape and wildlife artist in her own right. If you weren't a fan before reading this book, you will be by the time you are done.
