I took this photo in 2006 to celebrate the high school graduation of 6 friends…. 6 friends that had been together in school since kindergarten! They were fine young Christian teens then and today they are fine young Christian adults now! Left to right… we have: a Manufacturing Operations Manager, Human Resource Manager, Dental Hygentist, Elementary School Teacher, Senior Sales Associate and US Marine headed to Afghanistan! Makes me proud that our future is in the hands of such wonderful young adults!
I know that I have posted a picture of the house before, but this is a couple of years later. Kenai sat herself down and stayed for the picture-taking. Ya’ll come see us on SunnySide Farm!
Our dog Kenai was about 5 years old before she had her first litter of puppies….my memory says that she had 8 but this picture only shows 6. Anyway she was over whelmed with being a new mom and so was I. We had a good talk and both agreed that this was not going to happen again!
The weather will always get its way. The Kenai River has risen several feet within the last few days. The river is closed, roads have caved, river water covers property and many people have suffered. This lovely lily was taken in Soldotna, AK on a brighter, drier day.
One day I had a couple of dozen caterpillars on my fennel and then just a few days later none! Where did they go? I hope that they ate their way off and formed chrysalis and went about making beautiful swallowtail butterflies… but I do suspect that the birds might have had a feast.
