Hiking and gardening in the summer, snowshoeing and reading in the winter, creating Art every day. I call Alaska home.

And that’s a wrap… A clear night last night and the temperature got down to 27. Our hard frost has come at last. Goodbye garden. Until next year. #AlaskaSky

October in Alaska feels different this year. We've had one light 'frost on the windshield'. Still no hard frost where I live in SouthCentral. Dahlias and garden flowers blooming. Tomatoes, basil, marigolds still producing in the (unheated) greenhouse. Weather is changing. #globalwarming #AlaskaSky

Autumn in Alaska-a maple tree turns red. My husband started a flat of maple trees 25 years ago with seeds from the big maple tree that grows outside the Palmer Visitor Center. #AlaskaSky

It’s a perfect fall day here in SouthCentral. The dahlias are gorgeous and the autumn garden is still lovely. 38 degrees here this morning-friends closer to Hatcher Pass had a frost last night. I’ll be sad (as always) to see the garden go. #AlaskaSky

From greenhouse to sauce to pantry. 30 quarts canned. This is all we need for the winter. I’ve gifted the rest of the tomatoes still ripening to my friends. #AlaskaSky #HomegrownTomatoes

Any entomologists here? This guy was hanging out on a snapdragon today and I wondered if he might turn into a butterfly.

An Alaskan pumpkin patch. Three nice pumpkins from three planted pumpkin vines. No frost forecast here till the end of September so they can just hang out in our fall garden and begin to turn orange. #AlaskaSky

Inexorably heading towards the first frost. Low of 38 degrees last night. Canning tomatoes today. Waiting for the frost before we harvest beets and carrots.

My aspirations to grow the biggest tomato at the Alaska State Fair fell a bit short. Still proud of my 1lb 10 oz tomato but congrats to the winner with a 2 pounder! #AlaskaSky

It’s cherry picking time in Alaska! For anyone wondering-these are the Carmine Jewel variety acquired @20 years ago when the University of AK Fairbanks and University of Saskatchewan had the Cold Climate Fruit Exchange Program. #AlaskaSky
