Recovering journalist in Fairbanks, Alaska. Love sled dogs, good coffee and long walks in the woods, preferably at the same time. Mixed emotions about the Oxford comma.

Moose calves are so cute. Mama, less so, but still fascinating. The dogs you may hear are safely secured in the back yard.

We expanded the garden this weekend. It’s now about 1,200 square feet, or almost as big as my house. I hope my neighbors like zucchini.

Nosy neighbors are checking out the derelict camper van and cabin next door. Plenty of room for a playground for the weeks-old mini-moose.

I’m such a fabulous gardener. I dug up the chives last fall and was so happy they stayed alive all winter. Added them every so often to scrambled eggs, etc. Yesterday I realized I was nurturing grass. Not chives. No wonder they tasted bland.

More redpolls at the feeder today than anytime this winter. I measured 8” of heavy, wet snow this morning. Spring in Fairbanks never disappoints.

I’ve really enjoyed this past week of sunny skies and nightly aurora displays. And we’re seeing one of more foxes everyday.
