I just finished knitting this hat I started ~20 years ago, decreased until I couldn’t anymore and panicked a little, then just started binding off the last few stitches 😅
My dog wearing my finally completed masterpiece, a gray knit hat using… I don’t even remember what kind of yarn. Probably a blend of natural and synthetic fibers. Knit in a round until I had to switch to double pointed needles. The bottom edge is rolled up since it’s a stockinette stitch, and the top comes to a point with one yarn dangling down the side like and old timey sleeping cap.

A cutting board with a small bowl of Alaska Chips Original Potato Chips, an open tin of Crown Prince smoked oysters, and a small plate with thin sliced red onion and do chua (pickled daikon and carrot). A small meal for a small girl about to go to her first book club

Yes ma’am
The Aurora out tonight - bright green ribbons and sprays with some sparse pink; Resurrection peaks and tree silhouettes in the foreground. No clouds. At all. I’m flabbergasted. Looking East at a brighter green ribbon with some particularly bright streaks; more tree silhouettes in the background. Cassiopeia. No clouds. Amazing. My Discovery Weekly on Spotify is absolute fucking bangers for this. Yowza.

Turns out I’m hanging out at the beach longer than I intended to because I didn’t look at the alcohol content of this Talkeetna mule. It’s fine. Im fine.
My dog, a white malamoo skadorgidon (Alaskan malamute) looking at me briefly from sniffing in critter holes at the beach. Yellow beach grass all around, high tide with milky blue runoff from Godwin glacier, Lowell point a ways across the bay off yonder. I need to sit down.

The way that my dog mopes around like some Victorian waif when it’s not quite time for one of her three meals, daily walk, or toothbrush treat I stg
My dog (a white Alaskan malamute) laying down at the bottom of the stairs, mildly irritated at her lack of lunch for another 33 minutes. Taken after I was alerted via a long heavy sigh.

About that time
Termination dust at the top of Mt Benson and an overcast sky. The foliage at the base is green and blends into gold and red once it reaches the cliffs. Termination dust at the top of Resurrection Peak. Green foliage of Sitka spruce, cottonwood, and alder in the foreground. A grey overcast sky.

Had a creative burst for a minute but hit a wall when I looked at what I need to do to to transfer my Google domain that was migrated to Squarespace to Porkbun and the mental capacity just isn’t in my wheelhouse atm

Here is a picture I took on my XT5 instead
A photo I took on a Kenai Fjords cruise last week on my Fujifilm XT-5, transferred to my phone and lightly edited because I’m still remembering how to use manual settings on an SLR and the clouds are mega blown out. Specifically a cove on the mid south eastern side of Resurrection Bay, low hanging clouds clinging to the sunbathed mountains and glacier, and a patchy blue sky. The water is calm even as it is disturbed by the wake of the boat.

Walking my dog after a 1-2 punch flu and covid shot combo
A fishing boat with a light turned on at the top of a mast in the lower right corner, on blue green water, shadowy mountains towering behind it obscured by rain and mist. It was absolutely pissing rain, if you will. #nofilter

Found a bunch of krill washed up on the beach earlier. I also discovered that my dog likes krill.

I ran out of peanut butter for a pb&j so I used Nutella instead. Thin layer of raspberry rhubarb preserves on one side, Nutella with sliced rainier cherries on the other, arranged in a checkerboard pattern
