Back Outside after a Writing Workshop and Conference Travel

Memorial Day Weekend- so tempting to just go have fun, but we started the weekend with a workday outside, planting flowers and making a tiny raised bed vegetable garden!  Brian put that together for me, and I planted arugula, spinach, lettuce, basil, and 2 tomato plants.  We aren't here for 4-5 weeks in the summer, but I'd love to have the fresh greens when I am here!

My first time out on Kakwik this year!  Brian has been out several times for shrimp from late April/early May, but we went down to Whittier today, even though it was raining - it rarely rains very hard here.  Lots of shrimp - yay!  A bit on the cool side but always beautiful in its own way.

And a short hike afterwards to Virgin Creek Falls in Girdwood after an excellent late lunch/early dinner at the Silvertip Grill.

There is no shortage of beautiful places here, that is for sure - not as long of a hike as we would have wanted, but a nice place to visit at the end of Timberline Drive in Girdwood.
