June 22, 2009...

 Outside my window...
There are lots of clouds near the top of the Thunder Mountain and the other mountains that are close.  We can't the pretty white capped ones today, but I can the pretty blue ice of Mendenhall Glacier.  We had 18 hours and 18 minutes of daylight yesterday and the first day after the soltice we only lost one second.  We will start losing daylight now.  The summer is passing too quickly!

I am thinking...
of dear friends in Wasilla today.  Life is so full of both change and struggles. 

I am thankful for...
my garden and all the fun it is and to be able to better insulate the house before this winter.

 From the learning rooms...
We have just finished our first two week of school for the new year.  We are now taking three weeks off.

 From the kitchen...
Teriyaki chicken and salad

I am wearing...
Jeans and long sleeve purple shirt with slippers

I am going...
to be staying home a lot this week.  We have a contractor working in the house.  We are trying to make our home more energy efficient.  They will be doing some prep work today and start putting insulation in the attic on Wednesday.  I'm not sure how long that will take or when they will start insulation work in the crawl space.

I am creating...
a better chore plan and working on my garden and flowers.

I am reading...
I am still reading The Real George Washington, but it has been crowded out by The Wide Wide World.  I am really enjoying this book.

 I am hoping...
to get to go hiking some time this week or try out my new bike.  We have a "trailer" for Aaron.  It makes the adult bike almost like a bike for two except that is comes off.  He will be able to sit on a sit and help peddle. 
 
I am hearing...

the kids voices and the music my washer plays when it is finished.  Guess I need to go check that.

 One of my favorite things...
Hiking in Juneau.  There are more trails than roads and their is so many new places to explore.  It will take years to check out all the trails I want to take.

A few plans for the rest of the week:
The contractors are setting my schedule this week.  I will need to be here when they can work and and work around what they are doing.

Say hi to your mom for me and take lots of picks.

We may have chickens in our coop by the end of today.
