We can’t figure out if it was good that we didn’t notice this before hiking up to Exit Glacier or not. I must say at first glance I was happy to see guidance for what to do in case of a bear in the area: don’t turn and run; talk to it and back away […]
Exit Glacier
We hiked the trail to Exit Glacier yesterday. Exit Glacier is part of the Harding Icefield in the Kenai Fjords National Park. It was a beautiful, clear day, so we were able to walk close to the toe of the glacier on the outwash plain. The glacier is constantly melting, so there is a rather […]

While cleaning up some old boxes in the shed, we ran across some odd piles of rock hard mud, some already shattered. We broke open this mud clump and discovered wasp larvae inside. We suspect that at this time of year, their presence indicates they did not hatch. This type wasp is sometimes referred to […]
Fort Worth Flying Saucer
Getting to Fort Worth was a trip and a half. We left DFW in our rental car, plotted the route to our hotel in the GPS. Never mind, the powers that be decided that multiple construction projects on spaghetti-like highways with few signs and a broken traffic light along the way were a test to […]

Kenny’s Tree
On Sunday, May 5th, the children and grandchildren of Kenny Darling joined his twin, Bev, to plant an Hibiscus tree to celebrate his life.
Flower & Garden Festival
We enjoyed seeing the magnificent flowers at this year’s Flower & Garden Festival.
